Plan Description
Starter House Plan With Kitchen Separated From the Living Room
Dreaming of a charming, affordable home with timeless curb appeal and a smart layout? Starter House Plan 45306 is a thoughtfully designed one-story home with 1,184 square feet, 3 bedrooms, and 2 full bathrooms, making it the perfect fit for first-time homeowners, young families, or anyone looking to downsize without sacrificing comfort.
The warm, welcoming country-style exterior features white siding, decorative wood shutters, and a covered front porch—ideal for relaxing with a cup of coffee in the morning or winding down at sunset. Inside, the split-bedroom floor plan offers privacy and practicality, with Bedroom 1 (the primary suite) tucked away from the children’s or guest bedrooms. You'll love the convenience of a private bath and a cozy yet open layout that feels much bigger than the square footage suggests.
The central living space is perfect for busy family life or entertaining guests, featuring a seamless flow from the living room to the dining area and kitchen. An efficient L-shaped kitchen maximizes space and functionality, with nearby laundry for added convenience. The secondary bedrooms share a full hall bath, making morning routines easy for growing families.
This house plan is ideal for those who want affordable elegance, low-maintenance living, and classic design details. Whether you're building your first home or your forever home, Plan 45306 offers the flexibility and warmth you're looking for in a compact footprint.
