House plans from 1,200 to 1,300 sq ft
Browse 49 ranch, duplex, and multi-story designs in this size range
At 1,200 to 1,300 sq ft, these house plans hit a sweet spot — large enough for a dedicated master suite and a second or third bedroom, while still keeping the overall footprint tight and construction costs in check.
What You Get in 1,200–1,300 Sq Ft
Most plans in this category include 2 to 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Open-concept living is standard, with the kitchen flowing directly into the dining and family room. A number of plans add a split-bedroom layout, placing the master suite on one side of the home and secondary bedrooms on the other for added privacy.
Best Use Cases
This size is a strong fit for starter homes, empty-nester downsizes, and investment rental properties. The plans are large enough to feel like a full-size home but small enough to build on a standard suburban lot without a large budget.
Features to Look For
- Split-bedroom layouts for privacy
- Kitchen islands or breakfast bars in open plans
- Covered rear patio or screened porch
- Walk-in closet in the master suite
- Optional attached garage on select plans

Frequently Asked Questions
A split-bedroom layout places the master suite on one side of the home and the other bedrooms on the opposite side, separated by the living area. This gives the primary bedroom more privacy.
Several plans in this range are designed with a narrower width and deeper depth, making them a good fit for lots as narrow as 45 feet. Check each plan's dimensions to confirm it meets your lot and setback requirements.
Some plans designate a flexible room that can serve as a third bedroom, home office, or den. Look for plans labeled with a flex room or study in the floor plan details.
