On the hunt for an accessible home? Consider House Plan 1384! This one-story design has 960 square feet with an open layout that places the dining space and powder room just inside the foyer and the island kitchen with bar seating farther in, under an exposed beam ceiling. The living room is centered in back, has high ceilings, and opens onto the back porch. Finally, there's a large bedroom suite, of course!

If you have a limited lot or just want to keep as much of your land intact as possible, House Plan 5589 makes a great choice. This 628-square-foot Tudor-esque cottage neatly stacks its space on two perfectly rectangular levels. The first floor has the kitchen and living area, and the bedroom and bathroom—complete with a built-in desk and laundry, respectively—are upstairs.
