1.5-Story House Plan 537 ft²: 1 Beds, 1 Baths, Open Floor Plan, without Garage

Plan 23743RB is a 1-bedroom 2-story house plan that fits a complete year-round home into 537 ft², shaped in a modern Scandinavian spirit and crowned by a steep 12/12 (45°) gable roof. The ridge runs perpendicular to the street, so the tall gable faces the road and gives the narrow facade a clean, graphic outline. The exterior walls pair metal panels with WPC, a combination that balances contemporary precision with a warm, rustic note and nods to the European cabin and bungalow traditions. The house measures 21'5" wide and 26'7" deep, with a height of 25'9".

The entry leads straight into an open floor plan where the living area and the kitchen share one continuous space, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. The kitchen includes a breakfast nook, an easy spot for morning coffee or a quick meal for two without setting a formal table. Large windows and floor-to-ceiling windows bring daylight deep into the interior and frame the view outside, making the compact rooms feel open and generous. On a winter evening, the glass turns the living area into a quiet, softly lit retreat.

One bedroom and one full bathroom cover everything needed for comfortable daily life, whether for a couple, a single owner or anyone who prefers a home that is easy to keep. A dedicated utility room keeps the household equipment out of sight and leaves the living spaces calm and uncluttered. The entry works as a practical buffer between outdoors and indoors, a place to leave coats and shoes before stepping inside. This is a small house plan that uses its two stories carefully, giving each function its own place instead of spreading out across a wide footprint.

Outside, a deck extends the living space into the open air for summer dinners, reading in the sun or simply watching the evening fall. The plan has no garage and no basement, which keeps the building simple and the construction straightforward. With its steep roofline, generous glazing and crisp metal and WPC finish, this cabin house plan suits anyone who values thoughtful design, natural light and a modest, well-organized home.
