Home plan: French country cottage

Stone adorns the exterior of this efficiently designed cottage. The open-plan design boasts a barbecue porch, columned front porch, and a screened breezeway to the garage. A kitchen island supplies extra prep room and a snack counter for casual dining. The private master suite offers a walk-in closet and back porch access. Two additional bedrooms with a jack-and-jill bathroom sit near the front of the home. The large bonus space upstairs offers room for expansion.
