I designed the Sunset Cottage as a one-story cottage house plan for people who want everything on a single level without sacrificing character. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 1,837 square feet all on the main floor, this plan proves that single-story living can feel spacious, warm, and full of personality.

The open living area is the soul of this home, with vaulted ceilings stretching across the family room and kitchen to create one generous, light-filled space. Two stone fireplaces anchor the design, one in the family room and one in the screened porch, which means you have a fire to gather around no matter the season. The layout separates the master suite from the secondary bedrooms for privacy, and the flow from kitchen to living to outdoor spaces feels effortless. No stairs, no wasted hallways, just smart design.

Outside, the screened porch and covered porch give you true three-season outdoor living, and the stoop entry keeps the front elevation clean and welcoming. The 2-car garage fits within the 56-foot by 65-foot-10-inch footprint, and the plan is designed for narrow lots so you are not limited to oversized properties. This is a home that works beautifully for empty nesters, young families, and everyone in between.

The Sunset Cottage plan is available for $1,495. Similar cottage plans worth exploring include Oak Mountain Cottage, Fireside Cottage, Cottage Hill, and Banner Elk.
