About this plan

A three-car, front-load garage occupies 1,042 square feet beneath a compact two-story living area in this 1,196-square-foot house plan. The home’s 43-foot-9-inch width and 28-foot depth create a narrow footprint, with the second floor containing 1,052 square feet and the first-floor living area listed at 144 square feet. A second-floor master suite places the sole bedroom above the main living spaces.

The open floor plan organizes the living room around a connected kitchen with an eating bar, providing a shared area for cooking, dining, and relaxing. A foyer establishes the entry sequence, while an office or dining room offers flexibility for work or meals. The second-floor master suite includes a private bathroom, and the laundry area is also located upstairs for convenient access near the bedroom. A walk-in pantry provides dedicated kitchen storage, while a powder room serves visitors on the main level.

A covered front porch marks the entrance, and the front-load garage provides three vehicle bays. The house rises to 27 feet 10 inches and uses a slab foundation with 2x4 wall framing. Its vertically arranged living space and substantial garage footprint make the layout particularly suited to properties where garage capacity is a priority. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.
