french cottage house plans

The timber framed porch and exterior finish of this true craftsman-style home plan are truly delightful. Upon entering the craftsman house plan, a cathedral-like timber framed interior fills the eye. Warm woods of all species enhance the great room and kitchen. To the right of the entry, a cozy formal dining room opens to the wrap-around porch. To the left is the master bedroom with a sloped ceiling adjoining a luxurious master bath with twin walk-in closets that opens to a sunroom with a private balcony. The second floor has an open lounge that leads to two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and a generous second bath. This house plan is a timber framed home sheathed with structural insulated wall and roof panels. It is amazingly energy efficient. The plans have two foundation plans; one for structural insulated panels and one for conventional poured concrete.

Graceful curving eaves and a spectacular arched window give this design its distinctive northern European feeling. While the exterior of this home has abundant old world charm, the interior space is definitely modern in its conception. An expansive open area comprised of the living room, dining room and kitchen, all under soaring beamed ceilings, is the dwelling’s dramatic centerpiece. The angled bay from the dining room opens conveniently to the rear deck. Note the well-placed laundry room on the first floor. Three bedrooms including the master with its own bathroom, are placed on the left wing of the home. Upstairs, a private spacious loft has its own bathroom and a balcony overlooking the living room.

The inspiration for this classic and popular Colonial style house plan came from the movie "Father Of The Bride". An L-shaped staircase greets you in the foyer and at the top, an art glass window can be found. A large dining room with fireplace and screened-in porch are located close to the kitchen with its glass door cabinets and walk-in pantry. An additional staircase at the rear of the house plan rises to the second floor and leads to a walk up attic. Four large bedrooms and two bathrooms are located on the second floor. Two second floor balconies are also provided. House plans also include a detached, three car garage of approximately 630 square feet. Foundation: basement.
