2-Story House Plan with Basement 1334 ft²: 4 Beds, 3.5 Baths, without Garage

House plan 50579R is a compact, narrow house plan of 1334 ft², 20'0" wide and 48'0" deep, conceived as a family home to live in all year round, in the country or the suburbs. Its depth is more than twice its width, and that proportion gives the house its character: a slim front and a long line of living space running from front to back.

At 1334 ft², this small house plan stays easy to take in. The length of the house, rather than its breadth, carries the floor plan, so the home reads as one continuous sequence from the front to the far end. For a family it is a manageable size, with no more house than it needs to look after. Evenings and quiet mornings settle naturally into a home of this scale.

The foundation can be chosen to suit the family and the build. The plan has no basement as standard, and three foundation options are available on request: a slab, a crawl space or a walkout basement. A slab keeps the floor close to the ground, a crawl space leaves an accessible space beneath the floors, and a house plan with a walkout basement adds a lower level that opens directly to the outdoors.

The exterior walls are just as flexible. Wood 2x6 framing and wood 2x4 framing are both available on request, so the wall construction can be settled before the build begins. Together, these options let a modest, well-proportioned house be adapted in its structure while keeping the same slender outline.
