976 Sq Ft Contemporary House Plan with 2 Bedrooms, Covered Porches & Open Layout

Compact Contemporary with Open Living & Covered Porches

This Contemporary house plan offers efficient single-level living in just 976 square feet, perfectly suited for narrow lots with its compact 40 ft by 43 ft footprint. The low-profile exterior—defined by a 2:12 roof pitch and 15 ft 9 in building height—creates a modern, streamlined aesthetic that complements contemporary and compact lot designs.

The open-concept interior unites the great room, kitchen, and dining area with 9-foot ceilings that enhance the sense of space within the efficient footprint. A central kitchen island with eating bar serves as the primary focal point and simplifies meal prep. The split-bedroom layout separates the primary suite from the secondary bedroom, ensuring privacy without wasting square footage.

Outdoor living is maximized through 544 sq ft of covered porches spanning both front and rear elevations, effectively extending the home's usable area. Slab foundation and 2x6 wall framing provide durability and structural efficiency. First-floor laundry and a private master bath with double-vanity sink support daily routines in a compact, low-maintenance layout.
