    Are you an empty nester looking for cottage house plan ideas?

    If so, I have gathered together a collection of house plans that meet most of my American Cottage Design style criteria. That is, they have:

    • Charming curb appeal

    • Cozy fireplaces

    • Convenient first floor master bedrooms

    • Most have extra guest bedrooms upstairs

    • Open gathering spaces centered around kitchen/living areas

    • Square footage small enough to keep building costs affordable

    • Total square footage ranges from a small 782 square foot plan to a more generous 2839 square foot plan

    • Timeless, historic characteristics such as dormer windows, exterior shutters and sheltered porches.

    • I’ll be adding more cute cottage house plans here as I come across them. Check them out. Maybe there’s one here that’s just right for you.
