Description
The TMS-123-CF1 Small House Floor Plan by TM Studio-Small House Design is a cozy, charming, and highly efficient 2-bedroom small cottage home plan created for buyers who want comfort, curb appeal, and everyday practicality in a compact footprint.
With 726 sq ft of conditioned living area, this small house design is ideal for a primary residence, guest cottage, retirement home, backyard-style dwelling, downsized living, or a peaceful weekend home. The layout is simple, functional, and easy to navigate, making it especially attractive for US buyers looking for a beautiful home that feels warm without being oversized.
From the outside, TMS-123-CF1 has a classic cottage-inspired look with blue-gray horizontal siding, crisp white trim, a welcoming front porch, decorative window shutters, and a strong gable roofline. The design feels sweet and timeless, while the attached 1-car carport adds practical value for daily living. The front landscaping, porch railing, flower boxes, and covered entry create the kind of curb appeal that makes this small house feel instantly inviting.
Inside, the home opens into a 144 sq ft living room, designed as a cozy gathering space with a comfortable seating arrangement and a warm fireplace-style focal wall. The living area connects naturally into the central hallway, giving the home a smooth and practical flow.
The kitchen and dining area measures 133 sq ft, offering an efficient layout with space for cooking, dining, and daily routines. A compact round dining table fits beautifully into the space, while the kitchen layout includes room for key appliances, cabinetry, sink placement, and direct access near the carport side of the home. This makes unloading groceries or entering from the driveway simple and convenient.
TMS-123-CF1 includes two private bedrooms located toward the rear of the home. Bedroom 1 measures 131 sq ft, offering a comfortable main sleeping space with room for a bed, nightstands, and closet storage. Bedroom 2 measures 106 sq ft, making it a great option for a second bedroom, guest room, child’s room, office, hobby room, or flexible sleeping space.
The home includes 1 full bathroom, measuring 45 sq ft, placed near both bedrooms for easy access. A dedicated laundry area, linen storage, pantry, and closet space help make this compact floor plan feel more organized and livable.
This small house plan also includes thoughtful construction details. The overall home width is 23 feet, with a depth of 34 feet and an approximate height of 17 feet 9 inches. The design uses a crawlspace foundation, 2×6 wood exterior framing, 2×4 wood interior framing, and 9-foot flat ceilings on the first floor. The main roof pitch is 8:12, giving the exterior a taller and more attractive cottage profile.
For heating and cooling, the plan is designed with a ductless mini-split system, helping maximize the living and storage space by eliminating the need for a mechanical closet. A central ducted HVAC system may also be used as an optional alternative, depending on builder or homeowner preference. The design also notes a tankless water heater, shown on the exterior wall, with installation flexibility based on local code and manufacturer requirements.
Whether you are looking for a cozy 2-bedroom cottage plan, a compact small home with a carport, a downsized retirement-friendly layout, or a beautiful small house design with strong curb appeal, TMS-123-CF1 by TM Studio-Small House Design offers a warm and efficient solution.
This plan combines charm, simplicity, and smart use of space — making it a wonderful choice for homeowners who want a small home that still feels beautiful, practical, and full of character.
