Country Cottage House Plan 35007 with Loft, Balcony and 2 Bedrooms
Country cottage house plan 35007 captures the warmth and charm of a cozy mountain retreat while delivering the practicality needed for everyday living. Offering an efficient and inviting layout, this 1.5-story home combines Country Cottage character with Chalet-inspired cabin influences to create a design that feels equally suited for a full-time residence, vacation getaway, lake retreat, mountain cabin, or weekend escape.
The exterior reflects the timeless appeal of cottage architecture with welcoming proportions and a compact footprint that fits comfortably on a variety of homesites. Chalet-inspired elements and the home's vertical design create visual interest while enhancing the cozy atmosphere that defines this charming home.
Step inside and discover a bright, open living space designed to maximize comfort and functionality. The living room, dining area, and kitchen are positioned at the front of the home, creating an inviting gathering space where family and friends naturally come together. A sloped ceiling adds volume and architectural character while enhancing the warm, cottage-like atmosphere.
The living room features a built-in entertainment center that provides both convenience and organization while serving as a focal point for relaxing evenings, movie nights, and everyday enjoyment. The open layout allows natural interaction between the living and dining areas, creating a welcoming environment that feels larger than the home's footprint suggests.
The L-shaped kitchen is designed for efficiency and practicality. A double sink, ample workspace, and convenient proximity to the dining area support daily meal preparation while maintaining an open connection to the surrounding living spaces. Whether preparing breakfast before a day outdoors or hosting family gatherings, the kitchen is designed to function comfortably and efficiently.
Two comfortable bedrooms provide accommodations for family members, guests, or flexible lifestyle needs. A centrally located full bathroom is easily accessible from both bedrooms, creating convenience and functionality while maximizing privacy.
A thoughtfully positioned laundry center is tucked neatly into the hallway near the side entrance, helping simplify household chores while making excellent use of available space.
One of the home's most distinctive features is the loft overlooking the living room and dining area below. This elevated space adds visual openness while creating opportunities for a home office, reading nook, hobby room, game area, guest accommodations, or creative workspace.
The loft balcony overlooks the main living spaces and enhances the home's open architectural character. Storage areas located on both sides of the loft further improve functionality and provide valuable space for seasonal items, recreational equipment, and household storage.
Whether built as a charming cottage, mountain getaway, vacation home, lake retreat, or primary residence, house plan 35007 delivers timeless cottage appeal, efficient living spaces, and flexible loft living in a memorable and highly livable design.

Previous Q & A
Q:planning to build in norhern michian. what is the snow load rating of the roof? thanx!
A:The plan calls for 2x10 rafters at 16" oc over a 12' span. They are good for 95 pounds per square foot (PSF) of total load. With asphalt shingle, metal, or wood shake roofing, the allowable live load would then be 85 PSF with a dead load of 10 PSF. The house used 2x10 rafters to provide enough depth to fit R-30 insulation since the ceiling is directly mounted onto the bottom of the rafters. The house did not need 2x10 rafters for structural purposes to be buildable in most parts of the country, even areas that get heavy snow accumulations but without the deeper rafters, insufficient insulation space would have been provided.
Q:Hi! I am in love with this cottage! Question: How do you gain access to the "Plant shelf" on the upper level? I was thinking of having a patio door instead of the window and another small deck coming from the second floor, but I don't see any access to it. Help! Thank you.
A:Hello,
One would access the plant shelf via a ladder. Your builder could build a catwalk from the balcony over to the shelf.
Thanks
