About this plan

Defined by a two-story grand room within a compact 28-foot-wide footprint, this 1,285 sq ft home creates a sense of vertical openness that is unusual for a narrow two-bedroom design. The first-floor primary suite keeps the main living functions on one level, while the upper floor adds a secondary bedroom without significantly increasing the overall footprint, making the house well suited to smaller urban or infill lots.Entry begins at the foyer and opens into the grand living room, where a fireplace anchors the space and the full-height ceiling draws light upward through the center of the home. The kitchen island and eating bar connect directly to the dining area, allowing cooking and gathering spaces to remain visually linked within the open floor plan. A den near the main living area provides a quieter retreat for reading or work, while the first-floor primary suite includes a walk-in closet and convenient access to the main-floor laundry. The upper level contains the second bedroom and overlooks the grand room below.Built on a slab or monolithic slab foundation, the design keeps construction straightforward and efficient for compact sites. The covered front porch creates a defined arrival sequence, and the terrace extends the living space outdoors without adding substantial width to the plan. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.
