DAHLIA 2 (#3969-V1) – Rustic Walkout Cottage Plan Featuring a STÛV Wood Stove

The DAHLIA 2 (#3969-V1) captures the timeless charm of a rustic four-season cottage while offering the comfort, functionality and bright open spaces expected in today's homes. Part of our STÛV Fireplace House Plan Collection, this thoughtfully designed cottage house plan celebrates natural light, scenic views and everyday comfort through expansive rear windows, a fully finished walkout level and two generous outdoor living areas.

Offering 993 sq. ft. on the main floor and an additional 993 sq. ft. on the finished walkout level, DAHLIA 2 provides nearly 2,000 square feet of carefully planned living space. The main floor is dedicated to gathering, entertaining and enjoying the surrounding landscape, while the walkout level creates a comfortable and private retreat for family members and guests.

A Bright Open Living Space with Spectacular Views

A welcoming mudroom leads into a spacious open-concept layout where the kitchen, dining room and living room flow seamlessly together. The dramatic sloped ceiling rises to 13'8", creating an impressive sense of openness, while expansive rear windows fill the interior with natural light and showcase panoramic backyard views.

The kitchen becomes the heart of the cottage with its large center island and generous pantry, making everyday living and entertaining equally enjoyable. A flexible office on the main floor can easily be converted into a fourth bedroom, allowing the home to adapt as your needs evolve.

A STÛV Wood Stove at the Heart of the Cottage

Positioned between the dining room and living room, the STÛV S16-H wood stove serves as the architectural centerpiece of the home. Its clean contemporary design beautifully complements the rustic character of the cottage while creating a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout the open living area. Whether gathering with family after a day outdoors or enjoying a quiet evening by the fire, it naturally becomes the heart of the home.

A Comfortable Walkout Level Designed for Everyday Living

The finished walkout level features a spacious primary suite complete with a walk-in closet, a private ensuite bathroom with double vanity and direct access to the covered terrace through a patio door. Two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom, while a bright family room provides flexible living space for relaxing, entertaining or accommodating overnight guests. A conveniently located stacked washer and dryer area completes this highly functional level.

Outside, a large uncovered terrace on the main floor and a spacious covered terrace on the walkout level create inviting outdoor living spaces where you can enjoy nature in every season.

Whether envisioned as a four-season cottage, a peaceful mountain retreat or a primary residence surrounded by nature, DAHLIA 2 (#3969-V1) combines rustic architecture, bright living spaces and the distinctive warmth of a STÛV wood stove to create a home designed for lasting comfort.
