C oastal Living’s Cottage of the Year, SL-593, is a warm, inviting year-round retreat where friends and family can relax and enjoy each other’s company. Designed by Eric Moser

of Moser Design Group in Beaufort, South Carolina, the cottage features 2,612 square feet, 4 bedrooms and 3 ½ baths.

The first floor of the main cottage encompasses three distinct living spaces: dining, sitting and cooking areas. Inside the front door, a dining area replaces a traditional foyer. There’s plenty of space for a long rectangular table to be extended during the holidays. After breaking bread, guests can chat next to the large hearth in the adjacent family room. The hardworking kitchen is equipped for a large family or lots of guests, and the home’s open floor plan allows the hosts to participate in the party. Just off the kitchen, a screened porch with a fireplace links the main house to the guest cottage, complete with porch and a loft.

The house brims with built-in character, like shelves that flank the stair landing. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. For privacy, a vestibule separates the master quarters from the main house. Exposed beams add architectural interest to the master bedroom, which has its own sitting porch.

Southern Living working drawings offer a complete

conceptual design of our homes. However, our

working drawings do not include fully engineered

construction documents.

What’s Included

v Foundation and floor-framing plans. This shows

the foundation layout, including drawings for

a basement, slab, or crawlspace. Only one type

is included with each plan. Support walls and

all necessary dimensions are part of this sheet.

Please note that there is no beam layout included

with foundation plans. Foundation plans must be

engineered locally.

v Dimensioned floor plans. Each floor of the house

is shown in detail. The position and dimensions

of floors, windows, staircases, and columns are

clearly indicated.

v Suggested Electrical plans. Included are

suggestions for the placement of switches,

outlets, and fixtures. Local code will dictate exact

placement. This will be determined by your

builder. Select plans may not include electrical

plans.

v Typical wall section. This cross section shows a

typical wall from footings to roofline.

v Exterior elevations. These pages provide drawings

of the front, rear, left, and right sides of the house.

They also suggest the appropriate materials for

the structure and detail work.

v Interior elevations. These include detailed

drawings of cabinets, fireplaces, columns, other

built-in units, or suggested trim profiles. Each

architect or designer offers various degrees of

detail per plan.

v Suggested exterior and interior finish schedules.

v Door and window sizes.

What’s Not Included

v Heating and plumbing plans. Due to regional

variations in climate and building codes, heating

and plumbing plans should be supplied by local

contractors.

v Material quantity lists. Once your personal

selections are made (types of windows, doors,

etc.), this list should be obtained from the

contractor you choose or from a local building

materials supplier.

v Architectural and engineering seals. Some cities

and states require a licensed architect or engineer

to review and seal a blueprint, or officially

approve it, prior to construction due to concerns

over energy costs, safety, and other factors. Due

to varying local requirements, Southern Living

House Plans is unable to offer these seals. Contact

a local building official to find out if such a review

is required.

Square Footage Estimates

The heated square footage estimate provided on the small-

scale plan does not include garage, porches, decks, bonus

spaces, storage areas, or the basement level. We recommend

that your builder verify all of the plan’s dimensions and

square footage calculations, taking into consideration any

modifications or additions.

Also keep in mind that there are several different formulas

for calculating square footage, and your builder’s estimate

may vary slightly from ours.

Estimating Construction Costs

Accurate construction-cost estimates should be made

from the working drawings. We suggest consulting with a

local builder to provide an estimate of those specific costs.

Sometimes your builder can give you a ballpark estimate

based on information provided in the descriptions in

this magazine. However, you will need full construction

drawings for more accuracy.

After you order the plans, you may want to get at least

two separate estimates from contractors for comparison

because many variables can affect cost. The contractor

should provide the material quantity lists; costs may vary

depending on choice of materials, availability of materials

within an area, labor costs, choice of finishes, and degree

of detail.

Reverse Plans

Sometimes, to better site a house, it is necessary for builders

to use a reverse set of plans (often called a mirror image

or flopped set). The lettering and dimensions will appear

backward on the reverse set. If your builder needs a reverse

set, order one reverse and the rest standard set plans.

How Many?

One planning set is all you need to study the plan in greater

detail. However, if you want to get cost estimates, you will

need at least eight construction sets. If you decide to build,

you will definitely need multiple sets. As the owner, you will

want at least one set; the builder needs a minimum of three

sets; and various authorities and lenders will also need

separate sets. You may wish to consult with a local builder

before placing your final order.

If you plan on making any changes, you must order a

reproducible or CADD file. The additional copies can be

made once changes have been made to the original plan.

Building Codes

Our plans are designed to meet the national building

standards, but because of varying interpretations and the

fact that codes are subject to change, we cannot warrant

compliance with any of the specific building codes and

ordinances.

Your local builder or engineer can review the plan you

choose and ensure that it complies with all applicable

building codes. He/she should also verify that it is suitable

for your particular site, including any subdivision restrictions.

Some changes and material substitutions may be necessary

if your plans are to meet the local requirements. However,

we cannot be responsible for the assistance you receive

from the individuals you select to build your home.

Material Lists

Material lists can be created and purchased for any plans.

Please call 1-800-755-1122 for more information.

We encourage you to personalize your Southern Living

House Plan. In an effort to make this process quicker

and easier, we offer a reproducible set of prints and

electronic CAD files on selected plans. Please note

that CAD and reproducible files come with a one-time

construction license and are not returnable.

Customizing a pre-drawn house plan provides you

with tremendous cost savings when compared to

creating a custom house plan from scratch with an

architect. Southern Living House Plans has teamed

up with the designers at Architectural Overflow, to

help make your dream home uniquely yours. Their

design team will customize any house plan to suit

your budget, lifestyle or design preferences. You

may want to change the foundation, expand a room,

convert the exterior wall framing, change the look of

the roof, adjust the square footage or dozens of other

ideas; no project is too small or too large. We are here

to answer your questions and assist you through the

architectural design process.

Please note that not all plans can be modified by our

service, some must be modified by the original designer

or architect.

Our customer loved the classic exterior of Red

Springs, but their family needed a fourth bedroom,

a larger Master Suite and Garage, a more functional

mud and laundry room and several other interior

changes. Our collaborative approach produced a

plan that not only satisfied their initial requests,

but also provided them several additional features.
