House Plan of the Week: Big Style Under 1,200 Square Feet

Bold and budget-friendly, this new home design lives large.

2 MIN READ

Here’s a fresh plan to start the year: a starter home (or downsized design) that fits a narrow lot with just under 1,200 square feet and impressive curb appeal.

On the exterior, a two-car garage faces the front. A bold color scheme complements the clean lines of the home, with a metal roof adding a note of sleekness.

Inside, the living zones flow together without wasted space. The view here is from the vaulted living room. Large windows provide visual continuity with the back porch and yard.

Here’s a look at the floor plan. Homeowners will appreciate the main suite’s private bathroom with double sinks and a shower (no tub). A walk-in closet adds storage.
