The Nottaway, a two-story residence, encompasses 1,360 square feet of heated living area within a compact 34-foot width and 50-foot depth footprint. Designed to maximize horizontal efficiency, this plan features a 8:12 roof pitch and reaches a maximum building height of 22 ft 7 in, creating a traditional cottage-style silhouette suitable for narrow or modest-sized lots.

The main level is organized around an open-concept core, where the great room serves as the focal point, accented by a fireplace and direct access to a rear patio. The kitchen is equipped with a central island that maintains sightlines into the living space, while a dedicated first-floor laundry zone provides service-oriented utility. A primary suite is positioned on the main level to offer single-story accessibility, accompanied by a second bedroom in a cluster configuration to maintain proximity between living quarters.

A 471 sq ft loft occupies the second level, providing an elevated mezzanine that overlooks the primary living area below. With 8-foot ceiling heights on both floors, the design maintains consistent vertical proportions. The loft space offers a flexible area for a home office, secondary media room, or hobby zone, effectively separating quiet activities from the active ground-floor environment.

Structural integrity is achieved through 2x6 exterior wall framing paired with a hybrid of stick and truss roof framing. This construction approach ensures energy efficiency and structural stability. The 1,360 sq ft total living area is balanced by a layout that prioritizes interior circulation and utility without excessive square footage.
