Buildable plan: Maple Cottage, Chattanooga Design Center, Chattanooga, TN 37421

Price includes a placeholder of $150,000 on top of the home price for land purchase and site development costs. The Maple Cottage is a single-story home of 1,491 square feet with two bedrooms and two and a half baths, and it begins on a covered front porch that opens into a foyer with a half bath and a storage closet close at hand. The great room gathers around a prefab wood burning fireplace, a warm center for evenings at home when the day finally slows down. An open kitchen with an island, double sink and dishwasher flows into the dining space, so cooking and conversation stay together from the first cup of coffee to the last plate cleared. An optional vaulted porch with French doors extends living outdoors when you want more cover than a simple deck. Privately tucked away, the owner's suite includes a walk-in shower, a dual vanity, a private toilet and a walk-in closet. Laundry sits beside the owner's suite and the garage entry for an easy everyday path. The second bedroom has a bath between it and the great room, so overnight guests settle in without sharing your suite. A two-car garage completes the arrival, with a stair marked down near the laundry that may lead to a terrace level.
