Country Cottage House Plan with 3 Bedrooms, Wraparound Porch & Cathedral Living Room

Blending the very best features of two beloved designs from drawings you’ll find on dessinsdrummond.com, this thoughtfully crafted country-style two-story home offers the perfect harmony of comfort, charm, and practical living. Inspired by models 2530 and 2597, the result is a warm and inviting cottage-style residence that delivers modern functionality while preserving the timeless appeal of rural architecture.

From the exterior, the home makes an immediate impression with its covered wraparound porch spanning three sides, allowing you to move from the front entrance to the back door while staying protected from the weather. A lovely doghouse dormer (shed dormer) enhances the façade while creating enough interior space to design a more generous upstairs bathroom—one of the home’s standout comforts.

Inside, the main level is designed for effortless everyday living. A well-proportioned main-floor bedroom sits near a highly functional bathroom-laundry combo, complete with a private toilet enclosure for added convenience. As you move toward the rear of the home, you’re greeted by a breathtaking open-concept living area, featuring a central fireplace, abundant natural light, and an impressive cathedral ceiling in the living room. This grand yet cozy space becomes the heart of the home, perfect for gatherings, quiet evenings, or simply taking in the peaceful backyard views.

Upstairs, the layout includes two inviting secondary bedrooms, one of which is spacious enough to accommodate two twin beds—ideal for children, guests, or a shared sleeping arrangement. The beautifully arranged full bathroom nestled within the dormer provides extra comfort and elevates the charm of the upper level, emphasizing the cottage’s warm, natural appeal. A versatile mezzanine adds even more flexibility, functioning wonderfully as a reading nook, relaxation zone, or home office.

The unfinished basement offers endless potential, allowing you to personalize the space according to your needs—whether it be a family room, additional bedrooms, a workout area, or tailored multipurpose spaces.

Altogether, this home stands out as the quintessential country cottage, offering character, practicality, and a layout designed to enhance everyday living.
