Meet the charming, one-story modern farmhouse that’s proof good things come in small packages. With just ~976 sq ft of living area, it delivers 2 bedrooms (expandable to 4), 2 baths, and the cozy spirit of farmhouse style wrapped in a smart, efficient layout. Perfect for tiny spaces, empty nesters, or anyone ready to downsize without downgrading. 1
Happy Little Layout
Measuring roughly 34′ wide by 46′ deep, this plan keeps everything compact and connected—almost like living in a really good mobile home (minus the wheels). 9-ft ceilings across the main floor keep it airy despite the modest footprint. 2
Flexible Bedroom Setup
Start with 2 well-sized bedrooms and 2 full baths, or add conversion-friendly corners to bump it up to 4 bedrooms when guests arrive or the kids move back in. Perfect for those “just one more person” moments. 3
Efficient Design, Maximum Use
- An open living zone ties the kitchen and living area together seamlessly—no long corridors for your coffee to get cold on the way to the couch.
- Zero-car garage—but your footprint shrinks too, so who needs more building for less gardening space?
- Designed for slab, crawlspace, or walkout basement—decide where you want your future expansion. 4
