Narrow Lot House Plan with 4 Beds, 2.5 Baths and 2 Car Garage
This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 52733R is a 4-bedroom single-story house plan that gathers the whole life of a family onto one level and wraps it in a crisp contemporary shell with a quiet European poise. Under a hip and valley roof, the T-shaped footprint stretches back from a narrow front, which makes this one-story home a natural answer where the frontage is modest but the ambitions are not. Stucco and fiber cement siding meet in clean, layered planes, while large windows and a corner window pull in light from two directions at once. A covered front porch leads to the entry, and beside it the front-entry two-car garage extends forward, framing the approach and keeping the cars a few steps from the door.
Inside, the open floor plan unfolds in a single, unhurried sweep. The large family room is anchored by a fireplace that draws everyone in on winter evenings, and floor-to-ceiling windows soften the boundary between the room and the outdoors. The large kitchen sits at the center of it all: an island for homework, chopping and long conversations, a walk-in pantry that absorbs the weekly shopping, and a breakfast nook brightened by a corner window, the place where the morning arrives first. Modern in its lines and transitional in its warmth, the space feels lived in rather than staged, a room where cooking, talking and simply resting happen side by side.
The four bedrooms are clustered together, so the private side of the house keeps its calm while the living areas hum. The main floor master opens to a walk-in closet, and two full bathrooms plus a half bath for guests mean busy mornings run without a queue at the door. A dedicated utility room keeps the household equipment out of sight, and the entry gives coats, shoes and school bags a place to land before they reach the living spaces.
Life spills outdoors through the covered rear porch and the deck beyond it, ready for summer dinners, early coffee or a quiet hour with a book while the children play. With no basement and a slab and concrete stem wall foundation, the whole home stays on one easy level, 1748 ft² of thoughtfully arranged space for a family that wants everything within reach. It is a single-family house that grows gracefully with its owners, from the first years with small children to the time when stairs are the last thing anyone wants.
