TMS-136-CF1 Modern 2 Bedroom Small House Plan — 810 Sq. Ft., 2 Baths and Covered Porch
Modern, minimal, and surprisingly comfortable—the TMS-136-CF1 is a thoughtfully designed 2 bedroom small house plan that proves you do not need a large footprint to enjoy a beautiful and functional home.
Designed by TM Studio-Small House Design, this single-story home offers 810 sq. ft. of conditioned living space within a compact 38′ wide x 24′ deep footprint. Inside, the plan includes 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, an open living and dining area, a full kitchen, pantry, laundry space, walk-in closet, and a 101 sq. ft. covered porch.
The result is a small home that feels warm, modern, and easy to live in.
A Bright, Open Living and Dining Space:-
At the heart of the home is the approximately 254 sq. ft. open living and dining area, measuring 17′-9″ x 15′-0″.
Instead of dividing the main gathering spaces with unnecessary walls, this layout keeps the living and dining areas connected. The open arrangement creates a stronger sense of space while allowing natural light to move through the interior.
The living room features a cozy fireplace focal point with integrated storage, making the room feel inviting without sacrificing valuable floor area. There is comfortable space for a full sofa, accent seating, coffee tables, and an entertainment setup.
Directly beside the living area, the dining space provides room for a full dining table—making the layout practical for daily meals, family gatherings, and entertaining guests.
Compact Kitchen with Smart Storage:-
The 68 sq. ft. kitchen, measuring approximately 6′-8″ x 10′-5″, is designed to make efficient use of every available inch.
The layout provides space for full-size appliances, generous cabinetry, practical countertop areas, and a sink positioned beneath a window for natural light. The kitchen is conveniently connected to both the dining area and the central hallway, helping everyday movement feel natural and efficient.
A separate 9 sq. ft. pantry, measuring approximately 2′-2″ x 4′-4″, provides additional storage for groceries, small appliances, and household essentials.
For an 810 sq. ft. home, the combination of a dedicated kitchen and separate pantry is a valuable feature.
Private Primary Bedroom Suite:-
Bedroom 1 is designed as a comfortable private retreat.
The bedroom offers approximately 109 sq. ft. and measures 10′-11″ x 10′-0″. It also includes direct access to a private 31 sq. ft. full bathroom, measuring approximately 6′-0″ x 5′-2″.
One of the strongest features of the primary suite is the dedicated 27 sq. ft. walk-in closet, measuring approximately 6′-0″ x 4′-6″.
This combination of a private bath and walk-in closet gives the primary bedroom features that are often difficult to find in a compact small house plan.
Comfortable Second Bedroom and Full Guest Bathroom:-
Bedroom 2 provides approximately 102 sq. ft. of space and measures 10′-11″ x 9′-0″.
The room includes a dedicated 8 sq. ft. closet and sits conveniently near the second full bathroom.
The 45 sq. ft. Bath 1, measuring approximately 5′-0″ x 9′-0″, includes a full tub/shower arrangement and is positioned for convenient access from Bedroom 2 and the main living areas.
This makes the second bedroom flexible enough to serve as a guest room, child’s bedroom, home office, or multipurpose room.
Dedicated Laundry and Practical Hallway Storage:-
A dedicated 10 sq. ft. laundry area, measuring approximately 3′-0″ x 3′-3″, is conveniently located near the bedrooms.
The home also includes a separate hallway closet, helping keep linens, cleaning supplies, and everyday household items organized.
The central hallway measures approximately 11′-10″ x 3′-3″ and efficiently connects the bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry area, kitchen, and main living spaces.
101 Sq. Ft. Covered Porch:-
Outdoor living is an important part of this design.
The 101 sq. ft. covered porch measures approximately 12′-7″ x 7′-11″ and creates a sheltered space for outdoor seating, morning coffee, quiet evenings, or casual entertaining.
The broad roof overhang and clean modern architecture give the exterior a distinctive contemporary character while also creating comfortable shaded outdoor areas.
Modern Architecture with a Simple Footprint:-
The TMS-136-CF1 features a clean, modern exterior with a low-profile roof, generous overhangs, vertical siding, and large openings that help connect the interior to the outdoors.
The home measures:
- Width: 38′
- Depth: 24′
- Overall Height: approximately 14.4′
- Main Roof Pitch: 2:12
- Floors: 1
- Ceiling Height: 9′-0″ flat
- Foundation: Crawlspace
- Exterior Framing: 2×6 wood
- Interior Framing: 2×4 wood
The straightforward single-story footprint makes this design especially appealing for buyers searching for a modern starter home, downsizing plan, retirement home, guest house, vacation retreat, or compact primary residence.
