Exterior Design
This plan offers ~**600 sq ft** of heated living space, in a compact **one-story** modern farmhouse style.
The footprint is **30′ wide × 32′ deep**, and the roof pitch is steep: **12-on-12**.
Exterior framing is standard wood 2×4, with an option to upgrade to 2×6.
Interior Layout
Entering the home, you are greeted by an open layout combining living, dining, and kitchen — maximizing space and minimizing wasted hallways.
Ceilings are 8 ft throughout the main level.
There are generous porches: a front porch of about **180 sq ft** and a rear porch of similar size, for about **360 sq ft** total of porch/patio area.
Floor Plan:
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
This plan includes **1 bedroom** and **1 full bathroom**.
Everything is on one level, so no stairs beyond perhaps minimal foundation or crawl-space height.
Living & Dining Spaces
The living/dining/kitchen area is unified and open, helping the space feel larger than its small square footage. A fireplace may be present to anchor the living area, giving character.
Windows at the front and back porches likely allow for good daylight, enhancing openness.
Kitchen Features
The kitchen is modest but practical, integrated into the open area. Given the size, expect efficient cabinetry, counter space, and probably a small island or peninsula (depending on builder modifications).
Its proximity to the living/dining makes it sociable—one doesn’t feel separated.
Outdoor Living (porch, deck, patio, etc.)
This design shines in its outdoor living: **180-sq-ft front porch** plus **180-sq-ft back porch**, giving plenty of shelter and lounging space.
Porches spanning full width help extend usable living, shade windows, and allow outdoor enjoyment.
Garage & Storage
No garage is included in the base plan. Vehicle shelter or storage would need to be added independently.
Interior storage is limited given the modest size: expect a bedroom closet, kitchen cabinets, and possibly small utility/storage space. Efficient layout is essential.
Bonus/Expansion Rooms
No formal bonus room is included. The design is single level, modest in height, so attic or loft space may be limited.
If expansion is desired, the porches or foundation could be adapted, or minor adjustments made depending on site and roof geometry.
Estimated Building Cost
The estimated cost to build this home in the United States ranges between $200,000 – $325,000, depending on location, material quality, labor costs, foundation type, and whether the porches are built with more premium materials.
In summary, this 1-bedroom, 1-bath modern farmhouse plan condenses charm and efficiency into 600 sq ft. Open living, significant outdoor space via porches, and simple single-level design make it ideal for minimalists, retirees, or anyone wanting small-footprint comfort. A cozy, stylish retreat that feels bigger than it is.
