Welcome to the Kirksville, a craftsman style house plan that beautifully combines traditional charm with modern conveniences. This 1-story house plan, spanning 1271 square feet, is thoughtfully designed to make the most of every inch of space, offering an inviting and functional layout that feels larger than it seems. With 3 bedrooms and a well-planned floor plan, this home is perfect for small families, couples, or individuals seeking a cozy yet stylish abode.
As you approach the Kirksville, the exterior greets you with a timeless blend of lap siding and brick, a hallmark of its craftsman style. The covered porch exudes warmth and coziness, providing a charming spot to sit with a morning coffee or greet guests with ease. It's the perfect place to relax in a rocking chair, shaded from the elements while enjoying the view of your front yard.
Stepping through the front door, you immediately find yourself in the heart of the home. The open-concept design seamlessly merges the living room, dining area, and kitchen, creating a spacious and airy feel. The vaulted ceiling in the living room enhances the sense of openness, while large windows strategically placed at the front, right, and rear of the house flood the space with natural light, making the living area feel even more expansive and welcoming.
The living room is the perfect place to gather with family or entertain friends. Its simple elegance allows for various furniture arrangements, and the bright, open atmosphere makes it ideal for both relaxing and socializing. Moving seamlessly from the living area, you enter the dining space, conveniently located between the living room and kitchen, making family meals and entertaining a breeze.
The kitchen is a highlight of this home plan, designed for both efficiency and style. A compact two-seater island offers additional workspace and casual seating, perfect for a quick bite or chatting while cooking. Beneath a window, the sink provides a pleasant view as you wash up, bringing the outdoors inside. A small walk-in pantry ensures you have ample storage for all your kitchen essentials, keeping the space clutter-free and functional.
Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find a utility room that is as practical as it is convenient. This space connects directly to a 28 square foot covered porch at the rear of the house, providing easy access to the outdoors. A storage closet is tucked neatly to the left, offering the perfect place to stow away tools, outdoor gear, or seasonal items. Whether you need a spot to hang laundry, store supplies, or take a quick break outside, this utility area is well-integrated into the overall design.
From the dining area, a hallway leads off to the left, guiding you past a handy linen closet for extra storage and into the master suite. The master bedroom is a tranquil retreat, offering privacy and comfort. The ensuite bathroom features a thoughtful layout, with a sink and spacious walk-in closet located at the front. Beyond a second door, you'll find the toilet and a shower, allowing for privacy and convenience. This arrangement makes the most of the space while ensuring functionality.
Nearby the living room and front door are the two secondary bedrooms. Each measures a generous 12'x10', making them ideal for children, guests, or even a home office. The proximity of the bedrooms ensures that family members or guests are close enough for convenience yet maintain their own privacy. A hall bathroom is easily accessible from these bedrooms, featuring a shower/tub combination, perfect for all household needs.
The Kirksville craftsman design is more than just a house plan—it’s a home that balances coziness with smart, modern features. Its 1271 square feet feels spacious and bright thanks to the vaulted ceiling and open layout. Whether you’re starting a family, downsizing, or simply looking for a cozy, well-thought-out space, the Kirksville brings everything you need into one inviting and thoughtfully crafted home.
