Cozy, Versatile, and Packed with Charm
Looking to create a cozy granny flat in your backyard? This charming 2-bedroom Cottage ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) house plan is the ideal solution for maximizing space without sacrificing style. At just 660 sq. ft., this compact design offers all the essentials of modern living, wrapped in a picturesque cottage aesthetic that feels like a warm hug.
Key Features of the Design
1. Timeless Cottage Style:
With its steeply pitched roof, symmetrical facade, and creamy white exterior accented by muted green shutters, this home radiates a quaint, nostalgic vibe. It’s the kind of design that makes you want to stop, take a deep breath, and enjoy life’s quiet moments.
2. Inviting Front Porch:
The expansive front porch, framed by elegant white railings and columns, is perfect for sipping your morning coffee or catching up with a neighbor. It’s a space that truly expands your living area outdoors, merging comfort with charm.
3. Functional and Compact Layout:
Measuring 22 ft wide by 35 ft deep, this ADU house plan packs plenty of living into a small footprint. The 10 ft ceilings and smart spatial design make the living area feel open and airy, creating a space that’s as functional as it is delightful.
4. Loft and Attic for Extra Storage:
Got extra stuff or need a bonus space? The steeply pitched roof cleverly incorporates an attic that doubles as a loft overlooking the vaulted living room. Access it via a playful pipe-runged ladder in the hallway. Whether you use it for storage or as a cozy reading nook, it makes every inch of this home purposeful and efficient.
5. Flexible 2-Bedroom Layout:
The two bedrooms are ideal for accommodating guests, a family member, or even renting out for additional income. Whether it’s for grandma moving in or a spot for visiting friends, this layout caters to a variety of lifestyle needs.
6. Adaptable for Various Uses:
From a secondary living space to a short-term rental or even a home for hobbyists to create and relax, this cottage plan adapts seamlessly to your goals. The pleasant and efficient design makes it as versatile as your imagination.
Why This Plan Stands Out
Unlike larger, more complex designs, this ADU house plan thrives on simplicity, making building, budgeting, and maintaining a breeze. The thoughtful integration of the loft for extra storage or creative use, combined with its aesthetic charm, sets this house apart as a rare gem. Add in the practicality of a 10 ft ceiling and the relaxing front porch, and this design is perfect for anyone who wants to enhance their property with a secondary space that feels like home.
A Lifestyle in a Small Package
This house plan isn’t just a construction blueprint; it’s an invitation to a lifestyle filled with warmth and simplicity. Whether you’re looking to downsize, create multigenerational living options, or add a rental property, this Cottage ADU ticks every box.
Imagine creating a space where your loved ones can gather, where your tenants feel at home, or where you can enjoy quiet mornings with a cup of tea on your porch. With every detail, this home has been designed to bring small-space living to life with functionality and charm.
