How I designed this plan.

Autumn Place is a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath cottage that delivers 2,347 square feet across two stories on a footprint built for sloping, lake, mountain, and narrow lots. I designed this plan for the buyer who wants a main-level master, outdoor fireplaces, and a walkout lower level that lives as well as the main floor. The main floor holds 1,250 square feet with a vaulted family room that makes the open living area feel expansive.

A butler walk-in pantry keeps the kitchen organized and functional, and nine-foot ceilings maintain the sense of openness throughout. The main-level master bedroom gives you single-floor convenience for daily living. The lower level adds 1,097 square feet with a recreational room and full daylight from the walkout design, giving you a second living area that guests and family will gravitate toward.

Outside, covered porches, a screened porch, a front porch, and a grill deck give you outdoor living at every turn, including an outdoor fireplace for cool evenings under the stars. At 38 feet wide by 50 feet 8 inches deep with no garage, this cottage tucks onto narrow and sloping lots that wider plans cannot fit. The compact width is a real advantage on lakefront and mountain sites where every foot of frontage matters.

The Autumn Place plan is available for $1,495. For more cottage plans on challenging lots, explore Lake Glenville Cottage, Cheaha Mountain Cottage, Foothill’s Cottage, and Water’s Edge.

Common Questions

Before you buy.

What is included in the Autumn Place house plan set?+

Each plan set includes dimensioned floor plans for all levels, front, side, and rear elevations at 1/4" scale with notes and dimensions, foundation plan (basement standard; slab and crawlspace available for an additional fee), and roof plan. Available as a PDF plan set ($1,495) or editable CAD files ($1,950). Electrical plans are not included because they are customer-specific and finalized on site with your builder and electrician after framing.

Can the Autumn Place plan be modified?+

Yes. Modifications are one of the most common services we provide. Our in-house design team handles all modifications directly. Common changes include adjusting bedroom count, resizing rooms, changing exterior materials, or adapting for a specific lot. Typical turnaround is 2 to 4 weeks. Contact Max Fulbright Designs at (770) 301-4214 or [email protected] for a free consultation and quote.

Does the Autumn Place plan require a structural engineer's stamp?+

Stock plans do not include a professional engineer's stamp. Many US jurisdictions require a licensed engineer in your state to review and stamp the plans before permit submission. Check with your local building department before purchasing. This is a standard industry practice and is not unique to Max Fulbright Designs.

Who designed the Autumn Place house plan?+

The Autumn Place house plan was drawn personally by Max Fulbright Sr., the founder of Max Fulbright Designs. Max is a Georgia Institute of Technology-trained engineer who has designed and personally built more than 500 custom homes since founding the firm in 1990. Every plan in the Max Fulbright Designs catalog is drawn by Max himself.

Can I build the Autumn Place house plan in any US state?+

Yes. Max Fulbright Designs has delivered more than 12,000 plans to homeowners and builders in all 50 US states and Canada. The Autumn Place plan is drawn to general residential construction standards that work in most US jurisdictions, though local building codes vary and should be reviewed with your builder before construction.
