This thoughtfully designed 962-square-foot contemporary home proves that comfortable, attractive living can be achieved in a compact and affordable footprint. Created specifically for a narrow lot, the home makes efficient use of space while maintaining a bright, welcoming feel. This pleasant house is an ideal design for community-focused housing such as a Habitat for Humanity project. The home offers two stories of living space along with a single-bay, attached garage with rear vehicle access and an 8' x 7' overhead door. Entry to the back yard is conveniently provided through a service door in the garage. The main floor is arranged for practical daily living. An eat-in kitchen provides comfortable space for cooking and casual meals, while the living room offers a relaxed gathering area. A main-floor bedroom shares the main floor, along with a bathroom, a small pantry, and a convenient alcove designed for a stacked washer and dryer, helping keep household tasks close at hand. Upstairs, the home features a second bedroom and a second full bathroom, creating a comfortable private retreat or a kids’ zone. A large linen cabinet offers valuable storage space, helping maintain the home's uncluttered feel. The exterior design is clean and contemporary, combining simplicity with appealing architectural details. Contrasting corner boards and a trim band at the base of the walls frame the structure, while accent siding with decorative trim in the gable ends adds visual interest without unnecessary complexity. A welcoming covered front patio, supported by a double-post arrangement, provides sheltered outdoor space and a pleasant entry point to the home. Efficient, attractive, and carefully planned, this home demonstrates how smart design can deliver affordable housing that feels both modern and welcoming, making it well suited for community-based housing initiatives.

FAQs

Are designs on Houseplans ready to submit to my building department for permitting?

It depends on where you're building. Our plans contain enough information for a professional builder to construct your home, but your local government may require additional information before permitting. We strongly advise that you talk with your builder before you get started. If you are building for yourself, we recommend visiting your local building department to start your diligence. Read more here.

Can I make changes to a plan?

Absolutely! Our modification service allows you to customize almost anything - whether it's adding an extra garage bay, adjusting square footage, changing the roof pitch, or more, the plan modification service is a great value and can be completed quickly. Additionally, if you purchase an electronic plan set (PDF or CAD), you may have the option to make changes locally. CAD files offer the most flexibility for custom edits. Just let us know what you're thinking, and we’ll provide an estimate and timeframe to get started. Learn more here.

How much does a house cost to build?

Find out! Build costs vary based on the size of the home, materials used, and local rates for goods and labor. Our Cost to Build report is a great way to get some basic costs dialed in before you order your plans. Just plug in your postal code, select your desired construction quality, and we'll calculate for you.
