Small Gable Roof House Plan with Covered Side Porch

Plan 53661R is a 2-bedroom single-story house plan that fits a full home into 572 ft² under a classic gable roof with its ridge parallel to the street. The styling blends European, Traditional and Transitional influences, and the exterior pairs stucco with fiber cement products. This small house plan has a narrow footprint, measuring 29'9" wide and 21'3" deep, with a height of 16'8", and its 7/12 roof pitch gives the facade a balanced, timeless profile.

The front door opens into an entry that keeps coats and shoes away from the main room, then leads into an open floor plan where the family room, kitchen and dining area share one continuous space. A fireplace anchors the family room, making this a cozy house plan with fireplace for quiet winter evenings. The kitchen includes a breakfast nook, a natural spot for morning coffee or a casual meal, and it stays connected to the living area so conversation flows easily while someone cooks. Large windows and floor-to-ceiling windows bring daylight deep into the interior and make the compact rooms feel generous.

Both bedrooms are clustered together on the main floor, including the master bedroom, so the private side of the house is neatly separated from the living space. They share one full bathroom placed close by, a practical arrangement for a couple, a small family, a guest cottage or a downsizing homeowner. With everything on a single level and no stairs to climb, daily life stays simple and comfortable at every age.

Outside, a covered side porch offers a sheltered place to sit and an inviting secondary approach to the home. The house is designed without a garage and without a basement, which keeps the build straightforward. It stands on a strip footing foundation and is also available with a slab foundation. The main exterior walls are built of autoclaved aerated concrete, and the plan is also available with ceramic block or wood frame walls, so the construction can be matched to your builder's preferences.
