1-Story House Plan 536 ft²: 2 Beds, 1 Baths, Open Floor Plan, without Garage
This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 95687RB is a 2-bedroom single-story house plan of 536 ft², designed in a modern Scandinavian spirit and topped with a low shed roof at a 2/12 pitch. The T-shaped footprint measures 35'8" wide and 30'6" deep, with a height of 13'6", and the exterior walls are clad in WPC. Bungalow simplicity meets contemporary European lines here: one level, clean volumes and generous glass, gathered into a small house plan that works well all year round.
The heart of the home is an open floor plan that brings the living area, the kitchen and a breakfast nook together in one continuous space. Vaulted ceilings rise beneath the single-slope roof and give these rooms a sense of height that belies the compact size of the house. Floor-to-ceiling windows and large windows let daylight reach deep inside, so the living room feels bright from the first coffee of the morning. The breakfast nook gives the kitchen a natural place for quick family meals, while the open concept keeps whoever is cooking part of the conversation.
The split bedrooms layout places the two bedrooms apart, on separate sides of the shared space, so each one keeps its own privacy. That arrangement suits a couple with a guest room or a home office, or a small family with a child. One full bathroom serves the house. An entry gives a proper place to leave coats and shoes before stepping into the living area, and a dedicated utility room keeps the practical side of the home out of sight and away from the bedrooms.
Outside, a deck extends the living space into the open air for long summer evenings and slow weekend breakfasts. This modern house plan has no garage and no basement, which keeps the whole home on one level and the floor plan focused on the rooms you live in every day. The shed roof, the WPC walls and the tall windows give the exterior a crisp contemporary silhouette, and the T-shaped form adds depth to the facade. For a single family looking for a compact 2 bedroom house plan with vaulted ceilings, an open layout and a deck, plan 95687RB offers a thoughtful, refined place to call home.
