1-Story House Plan 455 ft²: 1 Beds, 1 Baths, Open Floor Plan, without Garage

Plan 38851R is a 1-bedroom A-frame house plan for a single-story home of 455 ft², sheltered by a steep gable roof with a 17/12 (55°) pitch that sweeps almost to the ground. Wood exterior walls and a relaxed beach and tropical character give this tiny house plan a warm, crafted presence. The narrow, elongated house is 23'8" wide and 59'4" deep, and its ridge runs perpendicular to the street, so the tall, sharply pointed gable end faces the approach and shapes the first impression.

Inside, an open floor plan joins the living area and the kitchen into one continuous room beneath the rising slopes of the roof. Window walls and floor-to-ceiling windows fill the gable end with glass, while panoramic windows and large windows along the house keep the outdoors in view from almost every point. Morning light reaches deep into the room, and the high, angled ceiling makes the modest footprint feel open and airy. Cooking, dining and relaxing happen together, which suits a household that likes to stay connected.

The private side of the home holds one bedroom and one full bathroom, all on a single level with no stairs to climb. This arrangement makes the small house plan an easy fit for a couple, a single owner or anyone who wants to downsize without giving up comfort or style. Every room is close at hand, and the simple layout keeps daily routines effortless throughout the year.

Outdoor living is a real part of this design. A covered rear porch offers shade and shelter for quiet evenings, a deck extends the living space into the open air, and the plan includes a pool for warm days spent at home. The house has no garage and no basement, which keeps the design compact and straightforward to build. With its striking A-frame silhouette, wood walls and walls of glass, plan 38851R is a distinctive single-story house plan for life close to nature.
