Description
The TMS-151-CF1 2-Bedroom Cottage House Plan by TM Studio-Small House Design offers a smart and comfortable layout within just 860 sq. ft. of conditioned living space. With a compact 39′ × 29′ footprint, this single-story design is ideal for a cozy primary home, vacation cottage, retirement home, or downsized living.
Inside, the vaulted living and dining area creates an open, spacious feel and flows naturally into a well-designed kitchen with a center island. The split-bedroom layout provides added privacy, featuring 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, including a primary suite with its own bath and closet.
A standout feature is the 131 sq. ft. screened porch, providing a comfortable outdoor space for relaxing, dining, or entertaining. A welcoming front porch, dedicated laundry area, practical storage, and efficient room placement make every square foot work harder.
Designed with a crawlspace foundation, 2×6 exterior framing, 9′ ceilings, and a 7:12 main roof pitch, TMS-151-CF1 combines charming cottage character with an efficient floor plan that’s practical for everyday living.
