It’s always great to find plans for little houses—just more significant than the 400 square feet most municipalities need to let you build on a foundation. The White Oaks plans are for a 523 sq. ft. cottage with a clever Murphy Bed set-up in the main living/dining/kitchen area to keep everything on one level.

The plans include a small bathroom and two large covered porches on either end of the home. If you build this home in a temperate climate, you could easily enjoy nearly tripling your living space but spending time outdoors! What do you think of these plans?
