Magnolia Cottage House Plan
3-Bedroom Beach Cottage House Plan
1,600 SQ. FT. | 3 BED | 2.5 BATH | 2-STORY | 2–3 CAR DRIVE-UNDER GARAGE
The Magnolia Cottage proves that a smaller footprint doesn't mean compromising on charm or livability. This 1,600 sq. ft. rectangular beach cottage delivers a front porch welcome, vaulted shared living spaces, and a primary suite that rivals plans twice its size—all wrapped in a classic coastal silhouette that looks right at home on any beach lot.
A spacious kitchen island anchors the main living area for easy entertaining, while the drive-under garage—with pull-through or rear entry for a third car—gives you the storage and flexibility that beach life demands.
Charming Front Porch: A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone for relaxed coastal living before you even step inside.
Vaulted Shared Living Spaces: Vaulted ceilings in the living area create an open, airy atmosphere that feels far larger than the square footage suggests.
Primary Suite with 5-Fixture Bath: The primary bedroom features a luxurious 5-fixture bathroom and a walk-in closet—a true retreat in a compact plan.
Spacious Kitchen Island: A generous kitchen island provides ample prep space and doubles as a casual dining and entertaining hub.
Drive-Under Garage with Pull-Through Option: A 1,515 sq. ft. drive-under garage accommodates 2–3 cars with a pull-through or rear entry for the third—ideal for beach toys, golf carts, and gear.
Efficient Rectangular Footprint: A clean 32' x 70' rectangular layout maximizes buildable area on narrow coastal or infill lots.
