Distinctive Modern Design
This 1,740-square-foot Modern house plan uses a narrow two-story footprint to create a practical and efficient home. The design includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one half bathroom.
At just 19 feet wide and 51 feet deep, the home makes particularly efficient use of its footprint while providing comfortable living spaces across two floors.
Efficient Two Story
The first floor provides 925 square feet of heated living space, while the second floor adds 815 square feet. Ten-foot ceilings on the main floor and nine-foot ceilings upstairs create comfortable proportions.
The home’s overall height reaches approximately 32 feet 9 inches, emphasizing its vertical two-story design.
Open Main Floor
The first floor features an open floor plan connecting the kitchen, dining, and living areas. A spiral staircase provides access to the upper level while adding a distinctive architectural element.
A walk-in pantry provides dedicated kitchen storage, while the main-floor powder room adds convenience for residents and guests.
Comfortable Upper Level
All three bedrooms are located on the second floor, creating a dedicated private sleeping level. The clustered-bedroom arrangement keeps the sleeping spaces conveniently together.
The primary bedroom is positioned upstairs and is complemented by two full bathrooms serving the bedroom level.
Dedicated Office Space
An office is included on the second floor, providing a separate space for work, study, reading, or other household activities.
The office is positioned away from the main gathering spaces, allowing the home to accommodate work or study without taking over the living areas.
Practical Walk-In Closet
A walk-in closet is included within the upper-level bedroom arrangement, providing dedicated storage space for the household.
This additional storage helps keep the compact home’s private areas organized without requiring a larger overall footprint.
Convenient Main Laundry
The laundry is located on the main floor, keeping an important household function easily accessible from the primary living areas.
Its placement on the lower level makes everyday laundry routines convenient while the bedrooms remain grouped upstairs.
Compact Footprint
The 19-by-51-foot footprint makes this plan particularly suited to narrow building lots where efficient use of available width is important.
Despite its narrow proportions, the two-story arrangement provides 1,740 square feet of heated living space without requiring a broad building footprint.
Low Profile Roofline
The plan features an extremely low 0.25:12 main roof pitch, contributing to its clean modern architectural character.
The exterior framing is specified as 2×4 wood, with a 2×6 conversion available as an option.
Flexible Foundation Choices
The plan is available with slab or crawlspace foundation options. These choices provide flexibility for different building sites and construction preferences.
The straightforward foundation options work well with the home’s narrow footprint and efficient two-story arrangement.
Efficient Modern Living
With three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, an open main floor, walk-in pantry, spiral staircase, upstairs office, walk-in closet, and main-floor laundry, this Modern plan makes excellent use of its 1,740 square feet.
The narrow footprint and vertical layout create a practical solution for homeowners seeking generous living space while working with limited lot width.
