empty nester house plans — dimensioned floor plan

This single-story plan has 1,670 square feet of living space, not counting the garage, within a 56'-5" × 39'-1" footprint. A front porch opens to a 6'-4" × 13'-3" foyer. The great room (17'-4" × 18'-10") anchors the plan, with the kitchen (8'-2" × 17'-10") and dining room (11'-11" × 9'-5") alongside it, so cooking, meals and sitting share one open space.

The attached 2-car garage (21'-2" × 17'-10") pairs with a 6'-6" × 8'-8" mudroom, a 10'-4" × 4'-6" laundry and a powder room. A 19'-3" × 4'-6" bedroom hall serves the sleeping rooms: the primary bedroom (11'-1" × 13'-11") with a 9'-4" × 4'-10" walk-in closet and 9'-4" × 8'-8" bath, and the guest bedroom (8'-10" × 13'-11") beside the guest bath. An 11'-11" × 8'-0" office adds room for work or hobbies.

Who this plan suits

This plan suits couples or downsizers who want one-level living, a dedicated office and a guest room without extra square footage to maintain. It needs a lot that can hold a 56'-5" × 39'-1" footprint plus a garage approach and setbacks.

How this plan was made

It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Single-story house, 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, primary suite, guest bedroom, office, open kitchen and great room, laundry, attached 2-car garage, front porch, about 1,700 sq ft of living space (garage not included).” An AI architect drafted the room program, a layout solver placed every wall and door, and the plan was checked automatically for room sizes, circulation and daylight. The same project produced the PDF sheets, layered DXF, IFC model and 3D model you can download above.

Frequently asked questions

What are empty nester house plans?

Empty nester house plans are smaller, usually single-story homes designed for one or two adults, with a primary suite, a guest bedroom and flexible space such as an office. This plan offers 1,670 sq ft of living space, 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths without stairs.

What affects the cost and lot requirements for this plan?

The 56'-5" × 39'-1" footprint sets the minimum lot width and depth once you add setbacks and a driveway to the 2-car garage. Cost depends on your region, foundation type, finishes and site conditions, so request local builder quotes.

Can I change this plan by chat?

Yes. You can ask for changes such as moving the garage to the other side, resizing or swapping rooms, or adjusting the plan for a narrower lot. The layout is then updated and the room sizes are recalculated.

How do I use the PDF, DXF and IFC files?

The PDF is for reviewing the plan and sharing it with builders or your permit office. The DXF opens in CAD software for drafting and edits, and the IFC imports into BIM tools for coordination with engineers and designers.
