Modern Coastal Cottage House Plan
1,400 SQ. FT. | 3 BED | 2.5 BATH | 2-STORY
The Olive House is a modern coastal cottage with a deep front porch and an interior with very few walls, so 1,400 square feet feels open from the front door to the back patio.
The kitchen has a big island with bar seating, and the patio at the back has a built-in pergola frame. Upstairs, the primary suite has its own bath and a walk-in closet, and two more bedrooms share a full bath. An optional one-car detached garage is included in the drawings.
An open great room: kitchen, dining and living in one room, with a big island and bar seating.
A porch and a patio: a deep covered porch at the front and a patio at the back with a pergola frame built in.
A primary suite upstairs: a quiet bedroom with its own bath and a walk-in closet.
Two more bedrooms: sharing a full bath, for family, guests or an office.
An optional garage: a detached one-car garage, 382 square feet, drawn and included.

What foundation does The Olive House come with?
The Olive House is drawn on a slab on grade foundation. A local engineer sizes the foundation for your soil and wind zone.
How tall is The Olive House and how much ground does it cover?
The maximum ridge height is 25' 0". The footprint is 48' 0" x 47' 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 1,400 square feet on 2 stories.
