Modern Cottage Collection
By Fusion Design
Modern Cottage house plans combine the warmth and charm of traditional cottages with contemporary design elements, creating homes that feel both inviting and up-to-date. Typically ranging from 1,200 to 2,500 square feet, these homes are ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone looking for a thoughtfully designed living space with timeless appeal. Inspired by English countryside cottages and classic American Craftsman architecture, Modern Cottage designs feature steeply pitched roofs, front-facing gables, and a mix of exterior materials like board-and-batten siding, natural stone, and modern metal roofing. Large, mullioned windows allow natural light to flood the interiors while maintaining the home’s cozy, storybook aesthetic. Inside, these homes prioritize open-concept living, offering a seamless flow between vaulted great rooms, spacious kitchens with functional islands, and dining areas designed for both everyday use and entertaining. Many designs incorporate first-floor primary suites for convenience, flexible home office spaces, and practical storage solutions such as mudrooms with built-in organization. While preserving classic cottage details like window seats, built-in bookshelves, and exposed wood beams, these homes also integrate modern essentials such as walk-in pantries, smart home features, and energy-efficient systems. Covered porches and private patios further extend the living space outdoors, creating a natural connection to the surrounding environment. Modern Cottage homes are perfectly suited for scenic locations, from lakefront retreats to charming suburban neighborhoods. Their efficient layouts maximize living space without excessive building costs, while their handcrafted details and natural materials provide a perfect balance of comfort, character, and modern convenience.

More Information
All of our floor plans are designed in-house and come with various options to customize your dream home.
House Plan Modifications
Since we design all of our plans, making modifications is a simple process. Click on a plan, and under the image, you will find a button to request a 100% free quote for any plan alterations. Additionally, all of our plans come with a variety of stock customization options.
Exterior Wall Construction Choices
Most of our stock plans are designed with 2x4 exterior wall construction by default. However, we offer options to modify the exterior wall type, including 2x6 exterior walls, Post Frame Construction, and CMU Block Construction.
Foundation Types
Each of our house plans comes with a default foundation type. If applicable, we provide options to adjust the foundation type to better suit your construction needs. For example, if the default foundation is an unfinished basement, you may have the option to select a walkout foundation, crawlspace, or slab foundation.
Please note that certain plans, such as those designed for waterfront properties, may require specialized foundations like post and pier construction. If an alternate foundation type is not listed as an option, you can submit an alteration request on the plan page.
Right Reading Reverse
One of our most requested options is the ability to reverse a plan. Selecting the reverse option will not only flip the layout but will also ensure that all text is corrected so the plan remains readable in its reversed form.
CAD Files
All of our plans are available as digital PDF downloads. If you need to make additional modifications, we offer an add-on option for CAD files, which are exported in AutoCAD format. This feature is ideal for home builders who need to make slight adjustments for different lots. Note that you will need software capable of opening CAD files to use this option
​
Garage Choices
We offer a range of garage options to suit different layouts and preferences. Available designs include detached garages, courtyard garages, side-load garages, front-load garages, and rear-load garages.
License Types
We provide two types of licenses for house plans. A single-use license allows the purchaser to build the plan once, while an unlimited-build license is designed for professional builders who intend to use the plan multiple times.
Best Price Guarantee
You may find our plans on other vendor websites. Because we design all of our plans in-house, we offer a true price-match guarantee. If you find one of our plans listed at a lower price elsewhere, we will match it.
