Contemporary 1-Bedroom House Plan with Large Porch & Open Layout | 986 Sq Ft

Compact Contemporary Home with Expansive Outdoor Living

The Fort Spring Overlook is a contemporary 1-bedroom home spanning 986 square feet, optimized for efficient single-level living. The 43 ft 7 in width and 50-foot depth create a compact footprint ideal for smaller or irregularly shaped lots. The defining feature is 764 square feet of covered porch and patio space, effectively doubling the usable outdoor area.

The interior centers on an open-concept layout where the kitchen, dining, and living zones maintain direct sightlines. Ten-foot ceiling heights enhance natural light and create a sense of vertical volume throughout. A centrally located kitchen island serves as an eating bar, providing a boundary between kitchen tasks and the main gathering area without obstructing flow.

Privacy is maintained through a split-style layout positioning the primary suite in its own wing, complete with a private bathroom. A separate powder room ensures guest access does not encroach upon the master suite's circulation path. First-floor laundry and 95 square feet of dedicated storage keep the compact home organized. Structural integrity comes from a slab foundation and 2x6 exterior wall framing, while the low 2:12 roof pitch and 18 ft 6 in maximum height align with contemporary design standards.
