DraftingBoard.us is excited to unveil the latest addition to our collection of historically inspired home plans—a beautiful Victorian cottage designed for modern living. This charming 1½-story home combines classic aesthetics with practical features, offering a unique option for homeowners seeking timeless elegance on a manageable scale. With 1,044 square feet of heated space, this design is perfect as a starter home, retirement retreat, or even a cozy vacation property.
Timeless Design with Practical Appeal
At the heart of this Victorian-inspired home is its striking exterior, adorned with intricate gingerbread trim and decorative details that harken back to a bygone era. The design captures the essence of Victorian architecture while remaining approachable and functional for today’s homeowners.
The layout is thoughtfully planned to maximize comfort and efficiency. Upon entry, the home welcomes you into a spacious living room that serves as the central gathering area. Toward the back, a cozy yet functional dining room is situated to the left, while the U-shaped kitchen features a practical bar that opens to the dining space. A convenient half bath and a generously sized pantry tucked beneath the stairs add to the first floor’s functionality.
Upstairs, the design continues to impress with two well-proportioned bedrooms. The primary bedroom, located at the front of the house, boasts a walk-in closet for added storage. The secondary bedroom at the rear features a long closet, making it ideal for guests or family members. A comfortably sized bathroom, strategically positioned near the stairway, serves both bedrooms.
A Personal Connection to the Design
This particular house plan holds special significance as it’s not only a reflection of Victorian charm but also the personal residence of Tim Davis, the designer behind DraftingBoard.us. Tim’s firsthand experience living in this home ensures every detail—from the layout to the finishes—has been carefully considered for both style and practicality.
“This design is close to my heart because it’s the home my wife and I built for ourselves. We wanted something that combined the elegance of a bygone era with the functionality needed for everyday living. I’m thrilled to share this plan with others who love Victorian architecture as much as we do,” says Tim Davis.
Expanding the DraftingBoard.us Portfolio
This latest addition marks the second Victorian design available on DraftingBoard.us, demonstrating Tim’s dedication to creating historically inspired yet accessible home plans. Each design in the collection is meticulously crafted to balance form and function, making these homes both beautiful and livable.
