This compact modern home stands out with its clean architectural lines and warm, inviting materials that blend modern style with timeless charm. Designed for comfort and efficiency, it offers a perfect balance between elegance, functionality, and natural light, making it ideal for today’s lifestyle.
The front façade immediately draws attention with its tasteful mix of stone, decorative columns, and refined trim details. A covered front porch adds to its curb appeal while providing a welcoming space to enjoy every season.
Inside, a practical entryway with a closed vestibule and spacious closet ensures everything stays organized and clutter-free. From there, the home opens into a bright, open-concept living area that seamlessly connects the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Large windows allow abundant natural light to flood the space, creating a warm and airy atmosphere perfect for everyday living.
The well-planned kitchen offers both style and practicality, featuring a patio door leading to the backyard—ideal for summer barbecues or morning coffee outdoors. Just steps away, a compact laundry area accommodates a stacked washer and dryer setup, maximizing convenience without compromising space.
On the main floor, a versatile secondary room can serve as a home office, guest bedroom, or hobby space, adapting easily to your lifestyle. A full bathroom completes this level, providing comfort and functionality for both residents and visitors.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, occupying the entire floor. This private space includes a modern shower room and direct access to a large outdoor terrace through a patio door—an inviting spot to unwind, enjoy the sunshine, or admire the surrounding views.
Built on a floating slab foundation, this design is ideal for flat lots or for homeowners who prefer a home without a basement, offering durability and energy efficiency.
With its compact footprint, luminous interiors, and contemporary design, this house is perfect for those seeking a modern home that combines comfort, simplicity, and timeless elegance. Whether as a main residence, a cottage, or a downsized living option, it delivers the perfect blend of style and practicality in every square foot.

Hello, this plan is listed as having "affordable building costs". Can I build this house with $100,000? I'm looking for a plan that can be built with $100k - $120K complete (not including cost of land).
If this one cannot be built within that price range, can you point me to some plans that can?
Thanks!!
Alex
