Check out a charming cottage that was designed with entertaining in mind. The 1,247-square-foot floor plan features large communal areas in the front of the house. The living room flows into the dining room, which opens into a U-shaped kitchen. Pushing the bedrooms to the back section of the home offers more privacy for overnight guests.

It's all about outdoor living at the Beach Bungalow. Sweeping front and back decks flow right into the landscape, larger windows help establish the interior's connection with outside, and a terrace off the second-floor sleeping loft offers a bird's-eye view. The decks can be treated like additional living or dining rooms—everyone can grab a step to watch the sunset or dine outside.

If pretty porches are what you're after, look no further than the Bucketmouth Bungalow. The first story offers three porch variations—a covered entryway, a side deck, and a screened-in area. This plan could appeal to growing families or homeowners aging in place, with the main bedroom and open concept kitchen-and-living areas on the first floor. Kids or grandkids can retreat to the two bedrooms and game room upstairs.

This traditional 1900s bungalow is brimming with curb appeal. Inside, a central hallway separates sleeping quarters on one side and central gathering areas on the other. We'd like to grab a seat in the built-in breakfast booth with wraparound windows.

There's plenty of room to grow in the Summertime Bungalow. The floor plan balances communal spaces for hanging out (like the family room and screened porch) with quiet spots to retreat (like the home office and bedrooms). The best part? This house plan can be customized to fit your specific needs.

Could you dream up a more charming Lowcountry cottage? The breezy front porch can act as an open-air living room; just close the shutters for privacy or protection from storms. The metal roof's wide overhang provides more shade on hotter days. Open the French doors and let the interior living spaces flow right out onto the front porch.
