Modern Contemporary House Plan | 1,040 Sq Ft, 1 Bedroom, 1.5 Baths, 1-Car Garage

This Modern Contemporary house plan distills efficient living into 1,040 square feet, ideal for narrow and urban lots. The compact 56-foot by 26-foot footprint is built on a slab foundation with 2x6 wall framing, reaching a maximum height of just 17 feet 1 inch. Ten-foot ceilings throughout the main floor create a sense of airiness despite the modest square footage, while a 2:12 roof pitch contributes to the contemporary aesthetic.

An open-concept core unites the kitchen, dining area, and family room into one flowing social hub. A central fireplace anchors the keeping room, while the kitchen features a central island and eating bar that doubles as a work surface and gathering spot. A dedicated mud room and laundry room with garage access keep utilities organized and out of sight. The private master suite includes a walk-in closet and bathroom with double vanity sinks, plus a separate powder room for guests.

The home's utility is amplified by its 1-car front-load garage (416 sq ft) with laundry room access, providing a clear transition from garage to living spaces. A 60-square-foot front porch establishes the entry point. This plan is engineered for homeowners and investors seeking a streamlined, low-maintenance lifestyle without compromising on design quality or essential comfort features.
