The Laura 2 house plan is a two-story residence spanning 1,878 square feet of heated living area, specifically engineered for narrow lots with a 34-foot width and 54-foot depth. This traditional cottage-style design maximizes vertical volume, utilizing a high 8:12 and 12:12 roof pitch to achieve a maximum building height of 26 feet 7 inches, providing a distinct profile that fits well within constrained urban or lakefront footprints.

The main level encompasses 1,224 square feet of heated space, centered on an open-concept core defined by 10-foot ceilings. This central zone includes a kitchen island, a walk-in pantry, and a family room equipped with a fireplace. A dedicated home office/study is positioned on this floor, accompanied by a primary suite that includes a walk-in closet and a private bathroom. The transition between indoor and outdoor areas is facilitated by a 272-square-foot covered front porch and a 340-square-foot rear porch, extending the usable living area for seasonal use.

Occupying 654 square feet, the second floor houses two secondary bedrooms, a shared full bathroom, and a loft that overlooks the main living area. With 8-foot ceilings, this upper level serves as a flexible buffer zone, appropriate for use as a media retreat, hobby area, or additional study space, maintaining a clear separation from the primary activity zones on the main floor.

Constructed on a slab foundation with stick-framed wall systems, the Laura 2 prioritizes structural efficiency and vertical scale. The inclusion of a half bathroom on the main level adds utility for guests, while the total of 2 full bathrooms supports the three-bedroom distribution. The architectural focus on a 34-foot narrow frontage ensures that this design remains a viable option for infill lots where site width is the primary limiting factor.
