This modern cottage style carriage house plan is unique in many ways. With 1165 square feet, 1 bed, and 1 bath, it is the perfect home for a new couple or small family home. AirBnb anyone?

• This plan is complete with a spacious two-car garage and additional shop area that provides an extra 296 square feet. Not interested in having a workshop? Turning it into an at-home gym would be a great addition.

• Walking inside through the garage or shop areas brings you right into a mudroom, perfect for cleaning up prior to going upstairs, or you can head straight through to a covered patio, complete with a sunken patio with a built-in fire pit and bench.

• The upstairs is where the additional living quarters lie, including the bedroom. Walking upstairs brings you straight into the dining area, which is open with the living room and kitchen. The living room provides access to the spacious covered deck, and the kitchen is complete with an island and walk-in pantry.

• Walking further to the front of the house is where you can find the bedroom, with a balcony and large walk-in closet, as well as the bathroom, with double vanities and a separate shower.
