How I designed this plan.

I designed the Olde Stone Cottage as a two-story cottage house plan with a walkout basement for the sloping lots that other plans give up on. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 2,812 square feet spread across two fully finished levels, this is a plan that turns a challenging site into a serious home.

The main floor holds 1,562 square feet with vaulted ceilings in the family room and master suite, a double-sided stone fireplace that faces both living areas, and a main-level master bedroom that keeps the primary suite away from the stairs. The open living layout flows naturally from kitchen through dining into the living room, and the front porch, rear porch, and screened porch give you covered outdoor options in every direction.

The grill deck and patio complete an outdoor living setup that most homes cannot match. Downstairs, 1,250 square feet of walkout basement opens up a recreation room and storage space that gets full natural light on a sloping lot. A 3-car garage tucks into the lower level, taking full advantage of the grade change.

At 69-foot-10-inch by 54-foot-8-inch, this plan needs a proper lot, but on the right sloping site it is one of the most versatile designs in the catalog. The Olde Stone Cottage plan is available for $1,495. For more walkout and mountain designs, see Asheville Mountain, Butler’s Mill, River’s Reach, and Stonegate.

Common Questions

Before you buy.

What is included in the Olde Stone Cottage 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 Olde Stone Cottage 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 Olde Stone Cottage 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 Olde Stone Cottage house plan?+

The Olde Stone Cottage 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 Olde Stone Cottage 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 Olde Stone Cottage 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.
