About this plan

Rising above a 26-foot-wide footprint, this 1,262 sq ft narrow-lot home places nearly all of its living space on the second floor, creating a distinctly vertical arrangement that is uncommon in homes of this size. The front-load two-car garage occupies the ground level, while the upper floor becomes the primary living platform, allowing the design to fit efficiently on compact urban and infill sites.Entry begins at a small foyer on the first floor, with the stair leading directly to the open main living level. Upstairs, the great room is organized around a fireplace and connected to the kitchen island, creating a single continuous gathering space. A home office is incorporated into the upper floor rather than separated on the entry level, keeping work and living areas closely linked within the compact plan. The second-floor master suite includes a private bath, while the second bedroom is served by the full hall bath. Laundry is also located upstairs, reducing movement between floors.Built on a slab or monolithic slab foundation, the design keeps construction straightforward and well suited to narrow building lots. The small front stoop minimizes the exterior footprint while maintaining a defined entrance, and the attached garage provides substantial parking and storage capacity within the compact width. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.
