Description

Meet TMS-131-CF2, a lovely two-story cottage-style small house plan by TM Studio-Small House Design, created for buyers who want charm, comfort, and practical living in a compact footprint.

This home measures 26 feet wide by 31 feet deep, with a total conditioned area of approximately 1,271 sq. ft. The first floor includes 806 sq. ft. of conditioned space, while the second floor adds another 465 sq. ft. The design also includes approximately 184 sq. ft. of unconditioned porch/outdoor area, giving the home a warm cottage feel from the outside and a smart, livable layout inside.

The main level is designed for daily convenience. You enter through a cozy front entry, with a dedicated office space nearby, making this plan ideal for remote work, study, or a quiet reading room. The living room opens into the kitchen and dining area, creating a bright, connected space for family time, cooking, and entertaining. The kitchen includes a practical pantry, and the plan also provides laundry and linen storage on the main floor.

Bedroom 1 is located on the first floor and includes closet access, with a full bathroom nearby. Upstairs, Bedroom 2 offers a larger private sleeping area, along with a second full bathroom, closet, landing space, and extra storage. The second floor also features a vaulted ceiling, giving the upper level a more open and airy feel.

The exterior has beautiful cottage character, with front porch spaces, a back porch, steep rooflines, and a compact but eye-catching elevation. With a 7:12 main roof pitch, crawlspace foundation, 2×6 exterior wood framing, and 2×4 interior wood framing, this plan is designed with practical construction details in mind for U.S. buyers.

For heating and cooling flexibility, the plan shows a ductless mini-split system to help maximize interior space, with an optional central ducted HVAC system depending on builder or homeowner preference. A tankless water heater is shown on the exterior wall, with indoor installation possible depending on local code and manufacturer requirements.

If you are looking for a 2 bedroom cottage house plan with office, a small full-time residence, guest house, country cottage, or charming downsized home, TMS-131-CF2 offers a beautiful balance of style, function, and efficient square footage.
