Each price is for the model delivered and installed on your prepared foundation; foundation, site preparation, servicing, permits, development charges and turnkey finishing are priced separately. Checked October 18, 2026 against our catalogue, model pages and floor plans. To compare every bedroom count, browse the full catalogue of designs, step up to our two-bedroom models or, for a family, our three-bedroom layouts. To see how these prices sit against all 33 models, by size band, see every model with prices.
What does a 1 bedroom model’s starting price cover?
Each Preconfigured model starting at price covers the home built to its specification, delivered and installed on your prepared foundation. Foundation, site preparation, servicing, permits, development charges and turnkey finishing are quoted separately, against your lot. My Own Cottage helps with permits and has licensed-trade installation professionals to assist with any foundation, site preparation and servicing needs.
Lot work doesn’t shrink with the house: a well, a septic system or a hydro connection is needed whatever the square footage.
Every project starts with a site visit to your lot, and the lot work is quoted from there.

Which 1 bedroom prefab homes cost least?
If affordability decides your shortlist, start with the Fox Den, Pine View and Willow at $229,500, then the Kingswood at $259,500, as of October 2026. Whether you search for 1 bedroom modular homes or prefab ones, these are the nine we build.
Why do two 646 sq ft one bedroom plans have different prices?
Price follows specification, not floor area. Both are 646 sq ft with one bedroom and one bathroom, but the Bay Breeze starts at $299,500 and the Kingswood at $259,500 as of October 2026. Their plans differ: the Bay Breeze is drawn with 472 sq ft of front and side decks and a nook off the living room, and the Kingswood with a single sundeck off the kitchen side. Compare floor plans, not price divided by area.
How big is a 1 bedroom house? Our models run 505 to 1,290 sq ft
Our one-bedroom models run from 505 to 1,290 square feet, in three size bands. The larger bands add height, a loft or a garage, not a second bedroom. If you’re comparing 900 sq. ft. 1 bedroom house plans, none of ours is that size: the Lake View is 741 sq ft, and the Haven’s suite and garage together total 1,066 sq ft.
| Size band | Models | Levels |
|---|---|---|
| Under 600 sq ft | Fox Den, Pine View, Willow | Single storey |
| 600 to 800 sq ft | Bay Breeze, Kingswood, Lake View | Single storey; vaulted living room in all three |
| Over 1,000 sq ft | Haven, Woodside, Boreal | Two levels: a suite over a garage, a loft, or an A-frame upper floor |
Small, simple one bedroom house plans: which are under 600 sq ft?
The Fox Den (505 sq ft), Pine View (540 sq ft) and Willow (564 sq ft) are our smallest one-bedroom plans, all single storey. If you want a small and simple house design with minimal square footage, start here. The Fox Den adds a dedicated laundry room, the Pine View a walk-in closet and a stacked washer and dryer by the foyer, and the Willow a storage room and a 13'-6" by 18'-0" living room.
How big is the bedroom in a small 1 bedroom plan?
The smallest bedroom we publish is the Willow’s, at 9'-2" by 9'-2", which fits a queen bed. The Fox Den’s is 9'-6" by 9'-9" and the Pine View’s 10'-7" by 9'-5". Whether a smaller room counts as a bedroom under the Building Code is a question for your local building department.
1 bedroom floor plans: where do the bedroom and bathroom sit?
In all nine of our 1 bedroom floor plans, the bathroom opens off a hall, foyer or living space rather than the bedroom. A guest never walks through your bedroom to reach it.
In a one bedroom house plan, does the bathroom open off the bedroom?
Off a hallway or the main living space, in every model. The Fox Den’s and Willow’s open off the hall, the Pine View’s and Kingswood’s off the foyer, the Bay Breeze’s and Lake View’s off the living space, and the Woodside’s off the kitchen. In the Woodside and Boreal the bathroom is on the main floor, below the loft or sleeping area. An ensuite door is a design-stage request.
Is the bedroom a closed room in every 1 bedroom plan?
No. The Boreal’s upper floor is one open level under the A-frame peak: a 17'-0" by 9'-9" sleeping area beside a 19'-0" by 10'-8" loft, with no wall or door, looking down into the living room. Our catalogue counts it as one bedroom, but it gives separation by distance, not by a door. On the main floor, the Boreal adds a 9'-2" by 9'-5" guest area with a queen Murphy bed. The Woodside has an enclosed main-floor bedroom and an open loft above.
Want an ensuite door, or a change to one of these layouts? Bring the plan you’re considering to a free consultation; layout changes are priced at design stage.
One bedroom bungalow, loft or garage suite: which layout fits you?
Six of the nine are single-storey one bedroom bungalow plans; the other three use a second level for a loft, an open sleeping area or a suite over a garage. To compare taller homes in every bedroom count, see our two-storey models.
Which one bedroom bungalow plans keep everything on one level?
All six 1 story plans, from the 505 sq ft Fox Den to the 741 sq ft Lake View, give you single-level living. The Lake View has one of the open-concept layouts in this group: its kitchen and its living and dining space share one vaulted room. A single storey puts its whole floor area on the ground, so it needs more lot than a two-level plan of the same size.
Which 1 bedroom house plans have a loft?
The Woodside and the Boreal. The Woodside’s 372 sq ft loft adds additional living space over a double-height great room glazed along two full walls, with the bedroom and bathroom on the main floor. The Boreal’s upper floor holds the loft and the sleeping area together, and its main floor has a built-in desk area beside the stair for a home office.
Is there a 1 bedroom house plan with a garage?
Yes: the Haven, our garage apartment plan. It stacks a 512 sq ft one-bedroom suite on a 554 sq ft garage, reached by its own exterior stair, so the suite and the garage never share a door.
Modern one bedroom house plans: which have vaulted or double-height rooms?
The Bay Breeze, Kingswood, Lake View, Woodside and Boreal are drawn with vaulted or double-height rooms. The Bay Breeze’s living room is vaulted to the ridge; the Kingswood vaults its living room only, leaving the bedroom side at standard height. The Lake View has vaulted open-concept living, the Woodside’s great room is double height, and the Boreal’s living room rises to the A-frame peak.
Drawn to a vaulted room, a loft or the A-frame? See every design in our catalogue with its starting price.
1 bedroom cottage plans: can one model be a cottage, a home or a second unit?
Yes. Every My Own Cottage model is built for year-round occupancy, so one bedroom cottage plans, vacation homes, rental units and full-time one-bedroom homes are the same models. What changes is the lot, the financing and the municipal rules. For a rustic getaway rather than a house, see our cabin designs.
Is a 1 bedroom cottage plan different from a year-round home?
The house is the same; the financing can differ. CMHC Prefab Plus mortgage loan insurance requires a property suitable and available for full-time, year-round occupancy, with year-round access, by vehicular bridge or ferry if it’s on an island (checked October 18, 2026). A cottage you can reach only in summer wouldn’t meet that. See how financing works for a prefab home.
Can a one bedroom house be a garden suite, guest house or rental unit?
It can, if your municipality permits a second unit on your lot. Garden suites, granny flats, in-law cottages and a 1 bedroom guest house are common names for accessory dwelling units; what you can build, and whether you can rent it, depends on your municipality’s rules. The single-storey models and the Haven are the usual candidates; how a municipality counts the Haven’s garage, for floor area and lot coverage, varies, so confirm it first. The province-wide rules are on our page about building a second unit behind an existing house, and our secondary suite page shows what a second unit costs.
Who is a one bedroom home not right for?
A one-bedroom model suits one or two people: first-time buyers comparing starter homes, couples, downsizers, or a parent living behind family. Unlike studios, it gives the bed a room of its own, except in the Boreal’s open upper floor. It is the wrong choice if your household may grow. For regular overnight guests, the Boreal is the one plan with a second sleeping place built in: a main-floor guest area with a queen Murphy bed. In the Woodside and Boreal, anyone sleeping upstairs comes down to the only bathroom.

Will a one bedroom plan fit your lot?
A one-bedroom model fits when its footprint, decks included, clears your setbacks and lot coverage limit and the lot can be serviced. Check five things before you apply for a building permit.
| Check | What sets the limit | Who confirms it |
|---|---|---|
| Footprint against setbacks and lot coverage, deck or porch included | The zoning by-law for your lot | Your municipality |
| Septic on a lot without municipal sewer | A septic design for the specific house, based on the final floor plan and bedroom count | Your septic designer and the local septic approval authority |
| Height of a two-level model (Haven, Woodside, Boreal) | Maximum building height in the zoning by-law | Your municipality |
| Shoreline setback on a waterfront lot | The zoning by-law and, where the lot is regulated, conservation authority rules | Your municipality and, where the lot is regulated, the conservation authority |
| Access for delivery | The route from the road to the building site | The site visit |
What footprint and dimensions does each 1 bedroom model need?
To test one bedroom house plans against your lot, measure from the outside of any deck or porch, because some zoning by-laws count them toward lot coverage. Six model pages publish an outline, and two more floor plans are dimensioned.
| Model | Footprint (width x depth) | What the outline includes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fox Den | 22'-0" x 24'-0" | House only; the covered porch sits outside it | Model page |
| Pine View | Not published | Covered porch across the front | — |
| Willow | 26'-6" x 24'-0" | Includes the sundeck | Model page |
| Bay Breeze | 32'-0" x 34'-11" | Includes the front and side decks | Model page |
| Kingswood | 25'-2" x 29'-0" | House only; add the sundeck to it | Model page |
| Lake View | 28'-0" x 27'-0" | House only; drawing marked approximate | Floor plan |
| Haven | 25'-0" x 24'-0" | Garage level; the exterior stair sits outside it | Floor plan |
| Woodside | 52'-0" x 36'-0" | Includes the wraparound deck | Model page |
| Boreal | 40'-6" deep | Width not published; check it first on a shallow lot and ask us for the width | Model page |
Delivery access, setbacks, septic, height and shoreline are settled by your municipality, your septic designer and our site visit, not by the floor plan. Bring your lot’s address and survey, if you have one, to a free consultation before you choose a model.
Can a one bedroom model be changed, or can you bring your own plan?
Yes to both. Through our customization services, a preconfigured model can be adapted or a design started from your own plan; changes are drawn and priced at design stage, before anything is built. Moving plumbing or an exterior wall costs more than moving an interior one.

Questions about 1 bedroom house plans
What is the size of a one bedroom house?
My Own Cottage’s one-bedroom models run from 505 to 1,290 sq ft. The six single-storey models run 505 to 741 sq ft; the Haven’s 1,066 sq ft includes a 554 sq ft garage under 512 sq ft of living space.
Which one bedroom plan is cheapest to build?
Of our models, the Fox Den, Pine View and Willow have the lowest starting price, $229,500 as of October 2026, and all three are compact single-storey plans. Your total also depends on the lot work, which is quoted after the site visit.
How much does it cost to build a 1 bedroom house in Ontario?
With My Own Cottage, a one-bedroom model starts at $229,500 to $549,500 as of October 2026, delivered and installed on your prepared foundation. Foundation, site preparation, servicing, permits, development charges and turnkey finishing are priced separately against your lot, so the total depends on the property.
Can I buy just the plans or download them as a PDF?
No. My Own Cottage builds homes and does not sell plan files, PDFs, blueprints or building plan packages on their own. Each model’s page shows its floor plan with room dimensions, so you can compare layouts before you talk to us about your lot.
Is a one bedroom house suitable for living in year-round?
Yes. Every My Own Cottage model is built for year-round occupancy, so a one-bedroom model can be a full-time home. To finance it with CMHC Prefab Plus mortgage loan insurance, the property also needs year-round access.
Can a one bedroom model be built anywhere in Ontario?
Yes. My Own Cottage delivers anywhere in Ontario, and every project starts with a site visit to your lot.
