Just imagine this situation. You’ve shopped around and chosen the perfect lot to build your dream home. You’ve moved forward and actually purchased that land. These are big, albeit under-appreciated steps on your way to building! Now your next step is to find the blueprints for your new home. The problem is, with building jurisdiction requirements, your buildable area is actually a lot smaller than you thought it would be. Don’t worry—we have tons of options perfectly suited to the challenge! Check out the following home plans for small lots that can help you make the most of what you have. If you like these but need more house, be sure to explore our collection because we have plenty of larger homes with compact footprints, too!
A Farmhouse Favorite of Our Home Plans for Small Lots
Let’s start with one of the most popular plans, the Williamsburg design. This affordable farmhouse is simple, stylish, and packed full of personality. Large windows and a covered front porch create an exterior that is inviting and comfortable.
This neat 2-story home has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms in 1,394 square feet. And the footprint is only 26’ wide by 34’ deep! Although small in size, the inside provides big living potential. Check out a few of the interiors showing the beauty and spaciousness of this gorgeous home.
A Tiny Modern Design with a Breezy Suite
Let’s change gears and take a peek at a best-selling modern home plan, the Joshua design. This uniquely styled tiny house with a minimalist approach has been made to meet the growing demand for modern tiny houses.
This wonderful 2-story home has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in 924 square feet. The footprint is 30′ wide by 21’ deep.
Tiny living is one of the newest trends in homebuilding as people look for more affordable homes. But, living tiny doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort. Let’s look at some of the beautiful interiors of this fantastic home. The split bedrooms provide privacy and the suite upstairs has a large terrace to enjoy!
An Inverted Home Design with Huge Windows for Views
Changing gears again, let’s take a look at another home that is perfect for a coastal or lake setting. The Skybridge 3 has cathedral ceilings and stunning windows to bring the outside in. An open-concept layout provides a large living room and eat-in kitchen. This gorgeous home has 1,086 square feet of understated elegance with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. One bedroom is on the main level while the other two are in the basement with the family room. There’s also a loft overlooking the living space!
The high-pitched roof creates cathedral ceilings inside, which makes the home feel much larger than it is. Just look at some of the interiors! Whether you’re on the main level or in the loft, you can enjoy beautiful boosted sights.
As you can see from the small sampling of homes provided here, even home plans for small lots can come in all sorts of looks and layouts! So, don’t fret if you need to stick to a small footprint.
