Character makes up for what this simple rectangle cottage lacks in size.
“This plan is ideal for a small lakefront lot or place in the woods, for someone seeking a basic vacation home that won’t cost a fortune but definitely has charm,” said architect Wayne Visbeen, of Visbeen Associates, Inc.
Intended first for traditional construction, it’s a plan that also could easily be built off-site, transported and efficiently put up in modular fashion.
“There’s very sure momentum behind modular home design right now – it’s a trend we’re seeing even in the higher end home market,” noted Visbeen.
Shown rising off a stone base for substance, Whistling Cove’s floor plan is straightforward: “From the front porch, you walk right into the living room (fireplace optional), which flows into the dining room – flanked here by a screened room – kitchen, and laundry area,” Visbeen said. “Up an L-shaped stairway, a simple hall and full bath separate a master bedroom with fireplace if desired and a second bedroom or bunkroom.”
Although not a big home with storage, Visbeen said, this simple rectangular footprint can easily be expanded: “It’s good as is or a good place to start. There are a lot of options.”
Outside, a false gable off this getaway’s steeper roof slope creates visual interest, while a shed roof over both the front porch and screened room offers inviting character. Other details including double-hung, cottage-style windows and a wood front door take plain our of the plan, “drawing attention instead to a small, simple home that’s well-proportioned and welcoming.”
