House Plan with Gable Roof, Covered Rear Porch and 2 Beds

Plan 29343R is a 2-bedroom single-story house plan that brings cottage charm and a touch of mountain chalet character to 905 ft² of living space under a steep gable roof with a 7/12 (30°) pitch. A small house plan in the bungalow tradition, it pairs a traditional silhouette with European and lake-home influences. The narrow footprint measures 27'1" wide and 36'3" deep, with a height of 18'6", and the ridge runs perpendicular to the street. Wood and stucco on the exterior walls give the facade a warm, handcrafted look.

The front door opens into a proper entry, a buffer that keeps coats, boots and cold air away from the main rooms. From there, the closed floor plan gives each space its own purpose instead of merging everything into one large room. The kitchen is a separate room with a breakfast nook of its own, an easy spot for a quick coffee or a weekday supper without carrying plates far. Because it is enclosed, cooking noise and aromas stay in the kitchen, and the living area remains a calm, defined place to sit and talk on long winter evenings.

The split bedrooms layout places the two bedrooms on separate sides of the house, so the main bedroom and the second room, whether it serves a child or a guest, each keep their privacy, a welcome quality in a compact single-level home. One full bathroom serves the household. A dedicated utility room keeps the mechanical equipment and household gear out of sight, leaving the living spaces free for furniture and everyday life.

The house is designed on strip footings with no basement, which keeps construction straightforward, and a slab foundation is also available on request. The walls are drawn in clay hollow block masonry, and the plan can also be prepared in aerated concrete or wood frame construction. There is no garage, so the entire footprint goes to living space. A covered side porch extends the home outdoors, a sheltered place for a morning cup or a quiet hour in the rain. Compact, well proportioned and easy to furnish, this 2 bedroom house plan makes a fine year-round cottage or a first family home.
