Contemporary Home Design
This 1,401-square-foot Contemporary house plan offers a practical one-story layout with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The design combines a compact footprint with comfortable spaces for everyday living.
Measuring 40 feet wide by 55 feet deep, the home includes a two-car front-entry garage with 457 square feet of unheated space. The entire heated living area is arranged on the first floor.
Welcoming Porch Spaces
A 42-square-foot front porch creates a defined entry to the home, while the 180-square-foot rear porch provides a larger covered outdoor area.
Together, the porches provide 222 square feet of outdoor space, extending the home’s living environment beyond the interior and creating additional areas for relaxing or entertaining.
Open Living Arrangement
The main floor features an open floor plan that connects the primary living areas. This arrangement makes efficient use of the 1,401-square-foot footprint while creating a natural flow between everyday spaces.
A kitchen island provides additional preparation and gathering space, while a breakfast nook offers a convenient area for casual meals within the main living arrangement.
Private Bedroom Layout
The master bedroom is located on the main floor and separated from the secondary bedrooms. This split-bedroom arrangement provides additional privacy within the single-story design.
Three bedrooms are served by two full bathrooms, creating a practical setup for family members and guests while keeping the layout efficient.
Convenient Main Laundry
The laundry room is located on the main floor, keeping household chores close to the home’s everyday living spaces. Its placement supports a simple and convenient routine.
A foyer provides a defined entry transition, helping organize movement between the front entrance and the connected interior living spaces.
