1-Story House Plan 982 ft²: 1 Beds, 1 Baths, Open Floor Plan, 1-Car Garage

Plan 82483R is a 1-bedroom single-story house plan that fits a complete, comfortable home into 982 ft² beneath a classic gable roof. Shaped by the American ranch tradition and finished with a modern farmhouse character, the house is clad in siding, opened up with large windows, and measures 57'6" wide and 27'0" deep. With every room on one level, this small house plan suits a couple, a first home or a quiet retreat for later years, and it stays easy to run and maintain all year round.

The living spaces follow an open floor plan, so the family room, dining area and kitchen read as one generous, connected space. The family room is the largest room in the house and is anchored by a fireplace, the natural gathering point on a winter evening. The kitchen works around a central island with a breakfast bar, giving room to cook, serve and sit down for a quick meal without leaving the conversation. Large windows carry daylight deep into this open zone, and the layout keeps sightlines clear from the stove to the hearth.

The private side of the plan holds a well-proportioned bedroom served by a full bathroom, set apart from the main living area for quiet nights and unhurried mornings. Practical rooms are not an afterthought: the laundry is on the main floor, close to the bedroom and bath, so there are no stairs to carry baskets up and down. A dedicated storage room keeps seasonal items, tools and everyday clutter out of sight and leaves the open living area clean and uncluttered.

Outside, a 1-car garage with side entry keeps the front of the house calm and lets the gable roofline and siding take center stage. The house stands on the foundation as shown in the drawings and has no basement in its standard version; it is also available on request with a crawl space, a slab, a monolithic slab, a stem wall or a basement. The exterior walls are framed as shown, and 2×6 exterior walls are offered as an option for owners who want deeper wall cavities. For anyone looking for a compact ranch house plan with a fireplace, an island kitchen and true one-level living, this design delivers a great deal in a modest footprint.
