Meet your sweet spot: a home that feels cozy yet complete, efficient yet generous.

With roughly 1,571 sq ft of heated living space, this design offers 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a footprint that fits narrow lots without sacrificing comfort or style.

It’s the kind of house that says “smart design” without yelling “shoe‐box”.

Curb Appeal That Doesn’t Need a Wide Lot

With a width of about 48′ and depth of ~58½′, the home squeezes into a compact lot beautifully, while still offering inviting front and rear porches for relaxed outdoor living. 

The modest ridge height (~26′) and traditional style—including a front porch and neutral elevation—help it blend into many neighborhoods.

Open Floor Plan for Real Life

This plan leans into an open layout: as you approach the foyer you’re pulled into the great room, dining area and kitchen, which all connect in a way that supports conversation, traffic flow, and daily rhythm.

The open zone maximizes the space, making ~1,571 sq ft feel larger than it is.

Smart Bedroom & Bath Zoning

On the left side of the plan you’ll find the master suite—offering privacy and a restful retreat. On the right side, three additional bedrooms lie together around the second full bath, making this layout both family-friendly and visitor-ready.

Porches Talk Lifestyle

Both front and rear porches are included (~132 sq ft in the front, ~121 sq ft in the rear) adding valuable outdoor living space without inflating the building footprint. 5 Imagine morning coffee on the front porch, or evening chats on the back. Yep, it’s built in.

Estimated U.S. Build Cost

For a home of this size and finish level (assuming good quality but not ultra‐luxury), a typical U.S. build cost might lie around $160-$230 per sq ft. At that rate, you’re looking at an estimated range of approximately **$251,000–$361,000 USD** (land, site work, and permit costs not included). Of course, regional labor rates, material choices, and lot conditions will shift the total.

Why This Home Makes Sense

It checks several boxes:

  • Fits narrow lots (so you don’t need a wide pad or huge front yard).
  • Open living space that feels larger than the footprint suggests.
  • Four bedrooms in a single level—ideal for families, guests, or a home office.
  • Covered porches add charm and outdoor utility without adding big cost.
  • Traditional styling that plays well in many neighborhoods and won’t date quickly.

In short: if you want smart, efficient, and well-styled without going massive—this plan delivers.

Considerations & Tips Before You Build

  • Because it’s designed for a narrower lot, you’ll want to check your side-yard setbacks carefully.
  • The open concept is great, but if you prefer lots of defined rooms you may want to add optional partitions (especially near the kitchen/dining).
  • Finishes matter: going higher end (stone, custom millwork, special roofing) will push your cost per-sq-ft upward—so budget accordingly.
  • Decide early whether you’ll finish the garage as storage/multi-use space; that adds value.

This is a home that says, “Yes, I’m efficient. Yes, I’m smart. And yes—I’ve got style.” Ready to dig deeper, tweak finishes, or get a materials list? I’ve got you – let’s get into it!
