1.5-Story House Plan with Basement 1077 ft²: 3 Beds, 1 Baths, Open Floor Plan, without Garage

Plan 53035R is a compact house plan for a year-round family home of 1077 ft², measuring 26'0" wide and 40'0" deep. The house is deeper than it is wide, so its length runs from front to back and the front stays modest in scale. For anyone searching for a small house plan that still feels like a true residence, these proportions are the starting point: a home that is easy to take in at a glance and has a calm, settled presence.

A footprint of this size keeps family life close together. With 1077 ft² to furnish, heat and look after, upkeep stays more manageable than in a larger house, and more of the budget can go toward the finishes that matter most to the owners. On a winter evening, a compact home like this one feels especially snug.

The foundation is a choice rather than a fixed detail. This house plan is available on request with a slab, a crawl space or a walkout basement. A slab keeps the house close to the ground, a crawl space leaves accessible room beneath the floor for pipes and ducts, and a walkout basement adds a lower level with its own door to the outside, making it the option for families who want extra storage or living space below.

The exterior walls offer the same flexibility, with wood 2x4 or wood 2x6 framing available on request. Framing in 2x4 is a familiar choice in North American home building, while 2x6 creates a deeper wall with more room for insulation. Together, these options allow plan 53035R to be shaped from the ground up around the way a family intends to live in it.
