About this plan

A covered porch establishes the outdoor approach to this 730-square-foot, single-story house plan, creating a sheltered transition before entering the compact interior. With a footprint measuring 32 feet wide by 26 feet deep and a building height of 22 feet, the structure keeps all heated living space on one level. Its one-bedroom, one-bathroom arrangement suits a smaller residential layout without a second-floor footprint.

Inside, the open floor plan connects the family room and formal dining area, allowing the main living spaces to share one continuous interior zone. The family room serves as the central place for relaxing, while the formal dining area provides a more defined setting for meals without requiring a fully enclosed room. This arrangement keeps circulation within the modest footprint direct, with the single-bedroom layout separating private space from the shared living area.

Foundation options include slab, crawl space, basement, and walkout basement, with 2x4 wall framing specified. The covered porch adds sheltered outdoor space, while the 730-square-foot heated interior maintains a compact building scale. Its 32-by-26-foot dimensions provide a clear starting point for assessing site fit. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.
