House Plan 81310

Small Farmhouse Plan with Clustered Bedrooms, 1196 Sq Ft, 3 Beds, 2 Baths and a 2 Car Garage

Small Farmhouse Plan 81310 with Clustered Bedrooms has 1,196 square feet of living space. This model is one story, and it will fit on a small lot. Dimensions are 40' wide by 56' deep, and the plan includes 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Homeowners will choose this plan because it has great curb appeal in a small and affordable package. Plus, the design combines functional and open living space. Build this small house plan for your family, or use it for a rental property.

Affordable Small Farmhouse Plan

Remember the old saying: "Less is more?" Small Farmhouse Plan 81310 is a great illustration of this phrase. Firstly, this small home plan packs a punch when it comes to curb appeal. Vertical white siding is reminiscent of old farmhouses that were whitewashed seasonally. Use a rich brown stain on the board and batten shutters, front door, and garage door. These accents will really pull everything together and make the house look charming. Secondly, there is no wasted space. Don't like to clean rooms you're not using? Don't build a big home, and you get to keep all that extra time you would waste cleaning and maintaining a big house.

Thirdly, this house is affordable. At only 1,196 square feet of living space, your overall costs are automatically reduced. For example, a small home means less materials to purchase to get the job done. Let's look at the specific materials as well. Choose basic shingles, wood siding, and other readily-available materials for construction. These options are mass-produced, non-custom, and therefore easy to purchase quickly at your local building supply company. Even better, it's easy to grab replacements in the distant future when it's time to do maintenance and/or upgrades. Remember, you own the house. Don't let the house own you.

3 Bedroom House Tour

This small house plan has a formal foyer for those who like traditional elements. Drop off your coats in the closet and keep clutter from entering the rest of the house. The coat closet is also convenient to the garage entryway. Open living space is found among the great room, dining room, and kitchen. Traffic will flow gracefully around the large kitchen island, and the kids will sit here and do their homework after school. Enjoy a meal in the sunny dining room, or move the party outside to the back covered porch. In the evening, enjoy a movie and popcorn while you snuggle in front of the fireplace.

Three bedrooms are located down the hallway. If you have young children, the placement of the bedrooms is advantageous because they are all close together. The primary bedroom is 13'8 wide by 12' deep, and Mom and Dad have a walk-in closet and ensuite with double vanity and large shower. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are exactly the same size, so the kids won't have an opportunity to argue over who gets the bigger room. All parents know the struggle. Add a stacked washer and dryer in the hall closet, and you have everything you need.

Exterior Elevations
In addition to the front exterior, your drawing set will include drawings of the rear and sides of your house as well. These drawings give notes on exterior materials and finishes. Particular attention is given to cornice detail, brick and stone accents, or other finish items that make your home unique.

Note: Sections and Elevations depict the default foundation, regardless of optional foundation page choices

Foundation Plan
The foundation page dimensions, concrete walls, footings, pads, posts, beams, bearing walls, and any stepped foundation information along with any retaining wall info (schematic only). A typical wall section for the home is also usually included on this page (if not, it is elsewhere in your plan set, as space allows). If your plan features a poured concrete slab rather than a basement or crawlspace, the foundation page shows footings and details for the slab, and includes plumbing locations.

Floor Plan(s)
Exterior and interior wall framing, and windows/doors are dimensioned. Room sizes are indicated and any beams, posts and structural bearing points are called out. The floorplans include an electrical legend, and electrical fittings, lights and outlets are shown. Floor Plans will also indicate cross–section details (provided on the sections page) and show any special framing details applicable to the design. Cabinet elevations are included for kitchen and bathrooms; some designs feature cabinet elevations for design–related built–ins too.

Building Sections
Building sections show changes in floor, ceiling, or roof height, and the relationship of one level to another. Our section pages also show how the stairs are calculated (if there are some!) and depict roof and foundation members. We try and draw sections to show the most useful information — choosing locations where there are elements you or your contractor might need clarification on.

Note: Sections and Elevations depict the default foundation, regardless of optional foundation page choices

Roof Plan
Roof framing or truss directions are shown, slope directions are indicated and structural members are sized and called out if applicable. The gravity loads used to calculate the rafters, beams and posts are indicated , and we also show gutters, downspouts, and any roof venting required for your home.

Notes and Details Page(s)
Your home comes detailed to meet the requirements of the latest adopted version of the ‘International Residential Code’, and our notes and details pages outline all the elements applicable to the design of your home. Compliance with further standards may need to be incorporated into your plan set, depending the requirements of your building department — these are usually done locally.

Beam Calcs Pack
These stock home plans come with all the gravity calcs used in the design of your home, upon request (Not all building departments require them; please ask if you would like them included). You can rest-assured you have purchased a quality plan package that will be easy to construct, and meet all the requirements of your local building department. We generally calculate loads based on 25# Snowload, but also have many plans for higher snowloads, or can even modify the structure of a plan to comply with your local conditions. Our plans do NOT come with seismic, wind or other site specific engineering calculations; we have engineers we work with to provide those to you at additional cost, or you are free to source your own engineer locally.
