This is the Hawthorn Cottage (SL2004) by Lake and Land Studio, created for Southern Living. The Hawthorn Cottage was one of the Top 20 Plans for 2020 (Southern Living – link no longer available). What a beauty it is! This plan is 1,611 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It’s a nice open plan that feels so much bigger than it is. There is a wonderful front porch as well as a stunning back screened porch with a fireplace! Can you imagine? Sitting on your back porch, enjoying the fireplace bug free? I would be out there every chance I could get (cooler weather) and also during nice weather. You see bugs like me… This is a sharp plan!

Entry into this plan is via the fabulous front porch – you step into the Great Room/Kitchen area – the vaulted ceilings make this plan feel even larger. The openness of this plan is wonderful affording site lines throughout kitchen/great room.

This is a one floor plan that doesn’t look like it from the outside. This is a “T” shaped plan which is very cool. I love “T” and “L” shaped homes. Having porches that are so functional just adds so much to this house. It’s far larger than it’s square footage. There is a laundry/pantry off the kitchen. Love that! A wonderful master suite and a great bedroom on the front of the house.

What’s not to love about this plan? No wonder it’s one of the Top 20! Interested in more details? Click HERE…
