1-Story House Plan 1676 ft²: 3 Beds, 2 Baths, Open Floor Plan, 1-Car Garage

Plan 66596R is a 3-bedroom single-story house plan with 1676 ft² of living space, a modern farmhouse look and a steep 12/12 roof that combines gable and hip-and-valley forms. The ridge runs parallel to the street, so the house shows its full width to the road: it is 59'0" wide and 59'0" deep, with a height of 26'0". Siding paired with stone/brick veneer gives the exterior a country, traditional American character. Inside, every room of this single-family home sits on one level, which makes it easy to live in at any stage of life.

The heart of the house is an open floor plan built around a large family room. The kitchen opens onto it and is made for real family use. An island with a breakfast bar seats a few people for quick meals and keeps the cook in the conversation, while a breakfast nook offers a separate, relaxed spot for morning coffee or homework. The entry leads into this shared living area, so the home feels generous from the moment the front door opens. On winter evenings, the family room, kitchen and nook work as one space where everyone stays together.

The three bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the private side of the plan compact and quiet. The master bedroom is on the main floor, and a walk-in closet adds storage that a growing family will appreciate. Two full bathrooms serve the bedrooms, so busy mornings run without a line at the door. The practical rooms are just as well considered: laundry on the main floor keeps washing on the same level as the bedrooms, and a mudroom catches boots, coats and bags before they reach the living spaces.

Outdoors, this house plan with a screened porch gives three places to enjoy the fresh air: a covered front porch, a covered rear porch and the screened porch for comfortable summer evenings. The attached 1-car garage has a side entry, so the garage door stays off the front facade and the porch leads the elevation. The house stands on a slab foundation with 2x4 wood exterior wall framing. It is also available with a walkout basement or a crawl space, and with 2x6 wood framing on request.
