About this plan

Rising to two stories within a compact 28′-wide footprint, this 1,593 sq ft house plan places the master suite on the second floor, separating the primary retreat from the main gathering level. The covered front porch establishes the entry, while the narrow 52′-deep form creates a vertically organized arrangement suited to a tighter building footprint.

On the first floor, the open floor plan connects the great room and kitchen island, with the fireplace providing a defined focal point within the shared living space. A mud room supports the entry sequence from the two-car front-load garage, while the upper level contains the bedrooms and laundry. The second-floor master suite includes a private bathroom and walk-in closet, keeping the primary bedroom zone distinct from the main living areas.

Foundation options include slab, crawl space, basement, or walkout basement configurations, with 2x4 wall framing supporting the two-story structure. The covered front porch provides a defined outdoor entry, while the 2-car garage offers front-load vehicle access. At 23′8″ high, the vertical form accommodates two levels within the compact footprint. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.
