About this plan

The covered front porch establishes a defined entry sequence for this 1,556-square-foot single-story house plan, extending across the 44-foot-wide façade before opening into the interior. Its 49′8″ depth accommodates three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, with a split-bedroom arrangement that places the first-floor master suite apart from the secondary bedrooms.

Inside, the open floor plan connects the living room, kitchen, and formal dining room into a central shared zone. A kitchen island and walk-in pantry support the kitchen area, while the home office/study creates a separate space for work or quiet activities. The first-floor master suite includes a private master bath and walk-in closet, and main-floor laundry remains close to the primary circulation. A rear porch extends the living sequence outdoors.

A 2-car front-load garage provides dedicated parking and direct access to the residence, while the 37-square-foot rear porch and patio add exterior spaces at the back of the house. Slab, crawl space, or basement foundations offer structural alternatives, with 2x4 wall framing supporting the single-story form. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.
