1-Story House Plan 850 ft²: 2 Beds, 1 Baths, Open Floor Plan, without Garage

Plan 22557R is a 2-bedroom single-story house plan that fits a complete home into 850 ft² beneath a simple gable roof with a gentle 4/12 (18°) pitch. Its character draws on bungalow and cottage traditions with a European, traditional finish, and the exterior pairs smooth stucco with stone/brick veneer. The footprint is a square, 28'0" wide and 33'7" deep, with a height of 16'6", so the volume stays compact and the roofline calm and balanced.

The front door opens into an entry that welcomes guests and keeps coats and boots away from the main room. Beyond it, an open floor plan joins the living area and the kitchen into one bright shared space. A breakfast bar marks the edge of the kitchen without closing it off: it is a natural spot for a quick morning coffee, a place to talk with whoever is cooking, and an extra work surface when friends come over. In a small house plan like this, one generous room instead of several cramped ones makes the whole home feel larger and easier to live in.

The two bedrooms are clustered together, forming a quiet private zone set apart from the daytime living space, and they share one full bathroom. The arrangement suits a couple, a small family, or a household that wants a guest room or a home office in the second bedroom. A utility room keeps household equipment and everyday chores out of the living area, and with everything on one level there are no stairs to climb, which makes this 2 bedroom house plan comfortable at every stage of life.

Outside, a deck extends the home into the open air for summer meals and long, unhurried evenings. The house is designed on a bored pile foundation and is also available with a slab, strip footings or a block foundation. The exterior walls are framed in sand-lime block, with aerated concrete, ceramic block or wood frame offered on request. The plan has no basement and no garage, which keeps construction straightforward and lets the budget go into the finishes of a cottage house plan built to be lived in all year round.
