Cottage — DH-CG-00017

Plan DH-CG-00017 channels the enduring appeal of the English cottage tradition through a carefully composed two-story facade. The exterior pairs buff-toned brick on the upper gable and right wing with warm lap siding on the lower body, anchored visually by a full-height stacked-stone chimney that rises above the steep dark-shingle roofline. A symmetrically arched entry door, louvered shutters in an earthy taupe, and multi-lite windows complete a streetscape that feels settled and authentic rather than merely decorative. A single eyebrow dormer punches through the upper slope, admitting light to the second floor while reinforcing the cottage silhouette visible in both the front elevation drawing and the rendered views. The first floor, measuring 38 feet wide by 39 feet deep, organizes daily living around a generous kitchen at the rear left, a living room spanning the full left side, and two bedrooms with a shared full bath on the right wing. A straight stair rises from the entry vestibule to the upper level where, per the metadata, the remaining two bedrooms are accommodated. A single-bay garage, dimensioned at 20 feet wide on the plan, is tucked to the rear right and accessed from the side, keeping the front elevation uninterrupted. With 1,961 square feet spread across two floors, the plan delivers practical four-bedroom livability within a compact, neighborhood-friendly footprint priced at $495, making it a sensible choice for growing families or buyers seeking cottage character without oversized maintenance demands.
