This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 35591R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan that fits a full family layout into 1292 ft², wrapped in siding and topped with a classic gable roof. Its character draws on bungalow, cottage and country traditions, with the clean, relaxed lines of a modern farmhouse. The ridge runs perpendicular to the street, so the gable end faces the road and gives the facade a neat, welcoming profile. The house is 29'6" wide and 67'5" deep, and this narrow house plan arranges its rooms from front to back, in the easy one-level spirit of an American ranch.
A defined entry receives guests and keeps coats and shoes away from the main rooms. From there the open floor plan joins the living area, the dining space and the kitchen into one continuous room, so the cook never has to leave the conversation. The large kitchen is the heart of the home. A walk-in pantry holds groceries, small appliances and serving pieces out of sight, and a breakfast nook offers a casual table for quick breakfasts, homework and long Sunday mornings. Weekday meals and holiday dinners both have room here.
The master suite sits on the main floor with everything else, so daily life never involves a staircase. It comes with a walk-in closet that keeps the bedroom itself calm and uncluttered. The three bedrooms are clustered together, which suits families with young children who want everyone close at night. Two full bathrooms serve the household, enough to ease the morning rush. The laundry room is also on the main floor, near the bedrooms and the daily routine, so carrying baskets becomes a short walk instead of a chore.
Outside, a covered front porch greets visitors and gives a sheltered spot to sit and watch the street, while a covered rear porch extends the living space into the backyard for summer meals and quiet evenings. A one-car garage with front entry handles the car and the storage. The house is drawn on the foundation as shown in the plans and is also available with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement on request. The exterior walls are framed as shown, and 2×6 exterior walls are available as an option.
