About this plan

Designed within a compact 40-foot-wide footprint, this 1,240-square-foot single-story plan focuses on efficient three-bedroom living without relying on a garage or oversized circulation areas. The low 15-foot-8-inch ridge height and simple rectangular form give the house a restrained profile, while the small covered porch creates a sheltered transition into the main living space.Inside, the layout is organized around a central living and kitchen zone that connects directly to the surrounding rooms. The three bedrooms are grouped for efficient circulation, with two full bathrooms positioned to serve both the primary bedroom and the secondary bedrooms without excessive hallway space. The compact footprint keeps movement between the kitchen, dining, and living areas short and direct, making the interior feel connected while maintaining clear separation between shared and private spaces.Practical construction features include 2x6 exterior walls and a floating slab foundation included with the plan, with optional unfinished basement and monolithic slab foundations available. The straightforward single-level arrangement works well for smaller lots and for homeowners seeking a manageable footprint with three bedrooms and two full baths. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.
