800 Sq Ft Tiny Home Plan with 2 Beds Upstairs and Gable Roof

Plan 74279R is a 2-bedroom cottage house plan with two stories, 835 ft² of living space, a European and traditional character, and a steep gable roof set at a 10/12 (40°) pitch. This single-family home sits on a square footprint 22'9" wide and 21'6" deep, rising to a height of 24'1". The ridge runs perpendicular to the street, so the gable end faces the road and gives the facade its tall, cottage-like silhouette. Wood and stucco share the exterior walls, and a skylight in the roof adds daylight from above. Few homes this compact offer so much: among small house plans, this one feels complete.

The front door opens into a defined entry, a useful buffer where coats and boots stay out of the living area. Beyond it, an open floor plan joins the main living spaces into one connected room. The family room is anchored by a fireplace, which makes this a true house plan with fireplace for anyone who values a real hearth on cold evenings. The kitchen flows into the same space and includes a breakfast nook, a comfortable spot for morning coffee or a quick meal without setting a formal table. Because everything is open, the cook stays part of the conversation by the fire.

The master suite is on the second floor, and the bedrooms are clustered together, keeping the private rooms grouped away from the daily activity of the living area. Two full bathrooms serve the home, a generous count for a 2 story house plan of this size, so a couple, a small family or regular guests never have to share. The quiet upper level suits restful nights, while the layout below handles everyday life.

Outside, the home offers both a balcony and a deck, adding open-air space for relaxing, dining or simply taking in the view. The house stands on strip footings and is also available with a slab foundation. The main wall framing is aerated concrete, with ceramic block or wood frame construction available on request. The plan has no garage and no basement, which keeps the structure simple and focused on the living space. With its steep gable, mixed wood and stucco finish and well-planned interior, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom design delivers the charm of a cottage with the comfort of a year-round family home.
