Is this the right plan for you?

Most regret comes from buying a plan that doesn't fit your life. Skim this before you decide.

Great fit if you…
  • Working with a tight lot — the design is just 39 feet wide and 39 feet deep
  • Need a compact footprint with minimal maintenance (839 sq ft total)
  • Want a second-story master suite with laundry access for convenience
  • Seeking a one-bedroom layout with two-car garage for a single person or couple
  • Prefer open-concept living with a kitchen island in a small space
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need multiple bedrooms for a growing family — this plan has only 1 bedroom
  • Want a single-story layout with no stairs — this is a two-story design
  • Require main-floor laundry — laundry is located on the second floor
  • Need more than one bathroom — this plan has 1 bathroom
  • Want a larger footprint to keep build costs proportional — 839 sq ft is very compact

About this plan

Compact Two-Story Living

This carriage house plan combines modern aesthetics with efficient two-story design in just 839 square feet. The one-bedroom, one-bathroom home features a two-car front-load garage and slab foundation, with clean lines and an inviting porch that establish strong curb appeal.

The open floor plan centers on a bright social core where the living area and kitchen flow together naturally, anchored by a functional island. Nine-foot ceilings flood the interior with natural light throughout the day. The second-story master suite serves as a private sanctuary with high-end finishes and direct laundry access for convenient daily organization.

A private deck provides year-round outdoor relaxation, while dedicated second-floor laundry and specialized storage zones add practical functionality to this manageable footprint. The layout maximizes every square foot without sacrificing comfort or style.
