This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 81349R is a 2-bedroom single-story house plan with 2086 ft² of living space, a modern farmhouse look rooted in the American ranch tradition, and a steep 10/12 gable roof whose ridge runs parallel to the street. The L-shaped footprint is 83'6" wide and 46'2" deep, with a height of 23'8". The exterior is finished in siding over Wood 2x4 framing, and 2x6 walls are available on request. The long, low lines of a modern ranch give this one-story home a calm, settled presence from the street.
The front door opens into a defined entry rather than straight into the main room, so coats and shoes have their place before you step into the open floor plan. Beyond it, a large family room and a large kitchen share one continuous space. The kitchen is organized around a central island, with a breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation and a separate breakfast nook for slower mornings. Because the family room, the kitchen and the nook flow together, whoever is cooking stays part of the evening, and guests gather naturally without being split across separate rooms.
The two bedrooms are clustered together, which keeps the private side of the house compact and quiet. The master suite sits on the main floor, as every room does in this ranch house plan, and includes a walk-in closet. Two full bathrooms serve the bedrooms, and a half bath gives visitors a bathroom of their own. Two and a half bathrooms for two bedrooms is a generous ratio, well suited to a couple, a small family or anyone who often hosts overnight guests.
Outside, a covered front porch welcomes visitors, and a covered side porch adds a second sheltered place for morning coffee or a quiet hour at the end of the day. The house is designed on a crawl space foundation and is also available with a slab or a walkout basement. The plan does not include a garage. For anyone looking for a one-story modern farmhouse with an open concept, a main floor master and a kitchen built for everyday family life, 81349R deserves a close look.
