Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The plan offers **2 bedrooms** (or optionally 1 bedroom + den/office if you choose the configuration) and **2 full bathrooms**.
The primary bedroom has a large picture window, a walk-in closet, and its own private and well-appointed bathroom. The second bedroom shares the other full bathroom.
Living & Dining Spaces
The living room is anchored by a fireplace (on the right wall) and flows into the dining and kitchen under the vaulted ceiling, creating a seamless social space.
Large windows, including in the primary bedroom, allow plenty of natural light. The central open area helps the home feel larger than its modest square footage.
Kitchen Features
The kitchen includes an island with bar seating, which is excellent for casual meals and entertaining.
There is also a laundry closet located via French doors, which keeps the laundry functional but discreet.
Outdoor Living (porch, deck, patio, etc.)
There is a small front porch (about **34 sq ft**) that provides a welcome cover at the entrance.
Also, a deck area of about **196 sq ft** gives usable outdoor living space, extending the feel of the home outdoors.
Garage & Storage
This plan does **not** include a garage in its base form. Vehicle storage would require an addition or external structure.
Storage inside is handled via the primary bedroom’s walk-in closet, a closet in the second bedroom, cabinetry in the kitchen, and the laundry closet.
Bonus/Expansion Rooms
There is no formal bonus room in this layout. Ceiling heights are modest for much of the house, except in the vaulted area, so attic conversion may be limited depending on roof structure.
Estimated Building Cost
The estimated cost to build this home in the United States ranges between $275,000 – $400,000, depending on region, material quality, labor, site work, and finish choices.
In summary, Plan 270061AF is an excellent option for someone seeking a compact, stylish cottage with vaulted living space. It balances privacy and openness, includes two full bathrooms, and delivers charm without excess. A cozy, efficient home with personality.
