The striking two story
Craftsman Style cottage pictured above and in the three images that follow is from Architectural House Plans. Designed
by Brian Hanlen of Brooks Design/Build, it is ideal for a narrow lot. It features clapboard with shingled gable ends and a host of wood trim.
A large front porch with a hip roof is supported by two wooden pillars
resting on pedestals which are also crafted from wood. A soaring
chimney with
stone accents extends up the side of an exterior wall and pierces the
roof line. At the rear, a large deck or
patio area is tucked in between the house and an attached two car
garage.
The delightful interior encompasses 2,158 square feet of living area on two levels and includes three bedrooms
and two and a half baths. The basement area contains an additional 817 square feet that can be finished off to
house a fourth bedroom, full bath, a family room and a wine cellar.

half bath, and master bedroom suite occupy the main level. In addition, there is another covered porch at the
rear of the cottage.

The cottage style house plans pictured at right and in the two images that follow showcase a stunning Craftsman design by Michaela Mahady of SALA Architects in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Maple Forest is a very popular plan and has been featured in at least two architectural books.
The romantic exterior is clad with a picturesque arrangement of wood siding, shingles and stone -- along with handcrafted wooden accents -- and features a steeply pitched roof that curves over the entry. A large wraparound deck and a screened porch expand the living area and bring the outdoors in.
The interior living area of 2,740 square feet on two levels features curved archways, exposed beams, vaulted
ceilings and beautifully handcrafted wood detailing. The open floor plan on the main level includes a great
room, dining room, library or den, kitchen and breakfast area, laundry room, and a half bath.

each with its own full bath -- occupy the upper level. Included in the master bedroom suite are two huge
walk-in closets.
