Magnolia Cottage II House Plan
Coastal Beach House Plan with an Optional Ground-Level Expansion
2,000 SQ. FT. | 3–4 BED | 2.5–3.5 BATH | 2-STORY | 2-CAR DRIVE-UNDER GARAGE
Magnolia Cottage II is a beach house for a narrow lot that starts at 2,000 square feet and can grow. The living floor has ten-foot ceilings, sliding doors in both the dining and living rooms, and a long rectangular island in the kitchen that the rest of the floor is arranged around. The primary suite has a five-fixture bath and a walk-in closet.
The ground level is where the growing happens: up to 900 square feet drawn as an optional finished space for more bedrooms, a game room or a guest suite, finished with the house or years later. A two-car drive-under garage sits at the same level, and the foundation can be piling, pier or walkout to suit the lot.
Room to grow downstairs: up to 900 square feet of optional finished space at ground level, for bedrooms, a game room or a guest suite. Ask us for the details when you are ready.
A five-fixture primary bath: two sinks, a tub, a separate shower and a toilet, plus a walk-in closet off the bedroom.
Sliders in two rooms: sliding glass doors in both the dining and living rooms, so the whole main level opens up and the light comes in from two sides.
Ten-foot ceilings on the living floor: the first floor has ten-foot walls, which gives the open floor the height it needs.
A long island in the kitchen: a rectangular island with prep space on one side and seating on the other, the natural center of the floor.

What foundation does Magnolia Cottage II come with?
Magnolia Cottage II is drawn on a pier or piling foundation. It is an elevated plan, with the living space raised above open space or parking, drawn for flood zone and coastal lots. You can choose pier or piling at no extra charge, or crawlspace, slab or CMU for $250 each, under Foundation Options before you buy. A local engineer sizes the foundation for your soil and wind zone.
How tall is Magnolia Cottage II and how much ground does it cover?
The maximum ridge height is 35' 0". The footprint is 39' 0" x 76' 0", which is the number to check against your setbacks; porches and the garage count toward it even though they are not in the heated area. Heated living area is 2,000 square feet on 2 stories. The ground level has parking and space drawn to be finished later, which is not included in the heated area.
