What's hot in new house plans? Craftsman-style details abound, with decorative trusses and natural materials adding warmth to otherwise-neutral exteriors. The modern farmhouse look continues its sleek ascent. And family-friendly details (like large walk-in pantries and mudrooms) let you show potential buyers how their lives could be made a little bit easier with one of these smart designs.
It’s all about the impressive practical spaces in this graceful one-story home. Take a look at the kitchen’s sizable pantry: not only is it quite large, but windows let in natural light for easier perusal of groceries when planning meals. The master suite also will invite oohs and aahs at the ample size of the walk-in closet. In the middle of the home, the island kitchen overlooks the great room and breakfast nook. A bonus room upstairs allows for storage or expansion. See more images, information, and the floor plans.
This sleek farmhouse fits onto a small lot, making it a cool choice for the big city. Both the living room and the island kitchen open to the back porch. The master suite rests on the main level and offers owners a surprisingly luxurious shower with two shower heads. Upstairs, two more bedrooms feature walk-in closets and access a loft.

Extra Master Suite = More Possibilities
An extra master suite on the main level opens up many options. For example, an elderly relative will appreciate the private bathroom and easy access to the suite. Alternatively, visitors can spread out and relax here. A pocket office and drop zone add contemporary storage. Meanwhile, the primary master suite treats owners to double sinks and a big shower. Two more bedrooms upstairs include spacious closets. The home’s modest width and front-facing garage suit it for a smallish lot. See more images, information, and the floor plans.
Optional Bedroom 4 and Bonus Upstairs
This remarkably versatile layout puts most living spaces on the main floor, plus an optional fourth bedroom and bonus space upstairs that can be used as a private living zone by visitors or perhaps a young adult. The vaulted family room flows into the island kitchen and out to the impressive back porches. In the master suite, owners will find relaxation in their private oasis-like bathroom.
