Today's freshest, most relevant house plans stand out for their simplicity and clever use of space. Here's a great example. See more details and shop the plan.

Let's start with the farmhouse styling. The large porch adds curb appeal and draws attention away from the two-car garage.

Inside, the layout puts all three bedrooms together on the right side of the home, close enough to appeal to young families but without sacrificing a private bathroom for the main suite. Remarkably for a home of this modest size, each bedroom boasts a walk-in closet. And the open layout of the gathering areas feels easy and contemporary.
