1,020-Sq-Ft Rustic Two-Bed Retreat with a Vaulted 6-Foot Porch

1,020 sq ft · 2 bed · 2 bath · 1 story · 30' 0" wide × 34' 0" deep · Plans from $1,095

This compact one-story home suits a couple or small family looking for a full-time residence, vacation retreat, or rental. Its defining feature is a vaulted front porch paired with an open living and kitchen area.

• At the front, a 6-foot-deep vaulted, trussed porch adds covered outdoor space. Stone accents and board-and-batten siding give the exterior its rustic character.
• The front of the home opens into a shared living area, with a C-shaped kitchen positioned on the right. The arrangement keeps the main gathering space open across the width of the house.
• Both bedrooms are located at the back, and each has its own bathroom. The plan includes a first-floor master suite, keeping the sleeping spaces together on one level.
• A modest main-level laundry area adds a useful everyday convenience in this 1,020-square-foot layout. The plan has no garage, leaving the home’s footprint focused on living space.
• Foundation choices include a monolithic slab, slab, crawl, or basement, with daylight and walkout options also available. This gives builders flexibility to match the site.
