45'x26' Modern Farmhouse Floor Plan 3 Bed 2 Bath, 1170 sq ft

This 45'x26' single story modern farmhouse house plan delivers 1,170 sq ft of conditioned living space across three bedrooms and two full baths, with full-width covered porches on both the front and rear elevations. The split-bedroom layout keeps the master suite on its own wing, and clerestory windows above the main living area lift the interior well past the 9 ft ceiling line, so a compact footprint reads far larger from the inside than the numbers suggest.

Inside, the kitchen runs 17'4" x 12'6" and opens directly into a 17'4" x 10'11" living room, forming one continuous social space across the middle of the home with the front door and rear porch door on the same axis for cross ventilation. The master bedroom measures 14' x 15' and connects to an 8' x 11' ensuite bath with a separate shower and soaking tub, plus a 5'7" x 5' walk-in closet. On the opposite end, bedroom two is 12' x 11' and bedroom three is roughly 12' x 10', each with its own closet, sharing a 7'3" x 4'4" full bath. A 5'7" x 5'7" laundry room with washer and dryer sits beside a dedicated mechanical closet, both tucked off the kitchen. Front and rear porches each span 28' x 5'6", adding over 300 sq ft of covered outdoor living.

Construction is conventional wood frame: 2x4 stud walls with 2x6, 2x8, and 2x10 headers, 2x10 floor joists on treated sill plates, and a gable roof framed with 2x10 and 2x6 rafters over a 2x12 ridge board, finished in black corrugated metal with cedar tongue and groove accents. The building peaks at 19'-3" with a 16'-2" clearstory level. Foundation details cover a slab layout with load bearing wall locations plus insulated concrete foundation walls, capillary break, perimeter drainage, and under slab vapor barrier. Wall assemblies use 7" board siding over housewrap with vented rain screen furring, and the rafter details include several vented and unvented attic insulation options.

The plan suits first-time owner builders who want a straightforward single level build, families needing three real bedrooms without a second story, retirees looking for a step-free layout to age in place, and investors putting up a rental or a permanent guest home. It also works well for anyone replacing a manufactured home on an existing rural lot, since the 45 ft width fits most standard building envelopes.
