  • • You value an open kitchen and family room arrangement.
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • • You need a single-story layout without stairs.
  • • You require an attached or detached garage.

About this plan

The second-floor master suite gives this 1,256-square-foot, two-story house plan a distinct division between shared living space and private retreat. With a compact 20-foot width and 38-foot depth, the structure rises vertically to accommodate 654 square feet on the first floor and 602 square feet above. This narrow footprint suits sites where building width is limited but a two-level arrangement is feasible.

The first floor centers on an open floor plan that connects the family room and kitchen, with a kitchen island providing a central work surface. A powder room serves the main living level, keeping the full bathrooms separate from guest circulation. Upstairs, the second-floor master suite includes a private master bath and walk-in closet, while the second-floor laundry places washing facilities near the private rooms. The two-bedroom, two-full-bath layout distributes its spaces across both levels.

A covered porch extends the living area outdoors, while the absence of a garage keeps the building footprint focused on residential space. Foundation options include slab, crawl space, basement, and walkout basement, allowing the plan to respond to varying site conditions. The listed wall framing is 2x4, and the building height is 31 feet. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.
