Next, we have a lovely design by HappyHomeCustomRose on Etsy. The living space in this floor plan is just a little bit smaller than that in the 62868DJ above: 2,250 square feet. The garage does not dominate this layout, however; it is 1,190 square feet. So, it is still plenty roomy, but it is not the majority of the square footage. It is large enough you can get up to three vehicles in it, however.

Unlike the previous floor plan we shared, this one is just for one story. The great room and kitchen share a common area, with the master bedroom and bathroom on one side of the home, and the other two bedrooms situated across from the kitchen. In the connecting corner between the master bedroom and bathroom and the other bedrooms and bathroom is the laundry room. The master bedroom also includes a huge walk-in closet.

If you enjoy lots of fresh air, you will also love this plan, because the home includes a shaded wraparound porch.

Best For: This layout is a great all-around choice for anyone looking for a large amount of roomy living space plus plenty of room for vehicle storage.

There are high ceilings over the living room, kitchen and garage, offering that spacious barndominium feel you love. Above the downstairs bedroom is a second upstairs bedroom, complete with extensive cabinets for storage.

In short, this is a clever plan that brings living big barndominium-style to a smaller layout.
