About this plan

The covered front porch gives this 1,316-square-foot, single-story house plan its defining architectural character, creating a sheltered transition into a compact 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout. With a 38'-6" width and 40'-0" depth, the footprint supports an efficient arrangement while keeping the porch and rear porch integrated into the overall exterior composition.

Inside, the open floor plan connects the family room with the kitchen and dining areas, creating a clear central gathering zone. The first-floor master suite is positioned for privacy and includes its own private master bath, while the laundry remains conveniently located on the main floor. Nine-foot ceilings contribute to a comfortable sense of volume throughout the primary living spaces and bedrooms.

Siding and a covered front porch define the exterior, while a 22-square-foot rear porch extends the living area outdoors. The home uses 2x4 stud wall framing with stick-framed, shingle-covered roofing and a 9:12 primary roof pitch. With no garage, the layout is suited to sites where attached parking is not required. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.
