Compact and Cozy: Perfect Two-Bedroom Starter or Retreat is a 660 sq ft one-story cottage-house-plan designed to maximize efficiency within a narrow 20 ft wide by 33 ft deep footprint. This traditional craftsman-house-plan utilizes a rectangular configuration to simplify construction while maintaining a 13 ft 6 in maximum building height, making it an ideal candidate for smaller building sites or secondary dwelling units.

The interior architecture centers on a consolidated layout that clusters the living and sleeping zones. A functional kitchen connects directly to the keeping/family room, creating a core living area that prioritizes utility over excess circulation space. The layout features a split-bedroom arrangement that ensures privacy by separating the primary suite from the secondary bedroom, with two full bathrooms serving the occupants.

Technical specifications include an 8 ft ceiling height throughout the floor plan, providing a uniform vertical scale across the 660 sq ft of heated living area. The structure is supported by a slab foundation and a 6:12 roof pitch, which contributes to the building's compact profile and long-term maintenance efficiency.

Practical design details, such as a walk-in closet within the primary suite and a dedicated first-floor laundry area, integrate essential storage and service tasks into the primary level. By removing wasted hallway space, this design provides a straightforward floor plan that supports both permanent residency and weekend retreat usage.
