Is this the right plan for you?

Most regret comes from buying a plan that doesn't fit your life. Skim this before you decide.

Great fit if you…
  • Building a rental or investment property — simple open layout and cluster-bedroom setup appeal to diverse tenant needs (627 sq ft, 2 bedrooms)
  • Working with a narrow lot under 25 feet wide — this design fits a 22 ft width and 28 ft 6 in depth
  • Starting your first build with a straightforward, no-frills footprint (open-concept core minimizes complexity)
  • Want storage in each bedroom without added square footage (walk-in closets in both sleeping areas)
  • Prefer a low-profile exterior with minimal roof complexity (3:12 pitch, 16 ft 2 in total height)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 3+ bedrooms or a separate family room — this plan has 2 bedrooms only
  • Require garage or carport storage — no vehicle parking is included in this design
  • Want distinct, fully enclosed kitchen and dining areas — the kitchen and living room merge into one open zone
  • Expecting private outdoor space — the plan does not specify a dedicated porch or patio

About this plan

Compact 2-Bedroom with Open-Concept Living

This contemporary shotgun-style house plan delivers 627 square feet across 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom on a tight 22-foot width and 28-foot 6-inch depth—perfect for narrow infill lots or rental properties. The open-concept core merges the kitchen and living room into a single, uninterrupted volume that maximizes perceived space and natural light, while a cluster-bedroom layout positions both sleeping quarters close to the main living area. Each bedroom includes a walk-in closet for efficient storage within the compact footprint.

Built on a slab foundation with truss roof framing and a minimal 3:12 roof pitch, this design reaches just 16 feet 2 inches tall and requires straightforward construction. The thoughtful layout ensures every square foot serves a purpose—no wasted hallways or redundant spaces. Ideal for small households, first-time builders, or investors seeking an economical, modern rental unit.

  • 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom in 627 sq ft
  • Narrow 22 ft width suited for infill development
  • Open floor plan with cluster-bedroom configuration
  • Walk-in closets in both bedrooms
