Two bedrooms may be all that buyers need, especially empty nesters or couples without children (or just one).

You may be surprised at how upscale some of these homes are, especially ones that include offices and bonus rooms for extra space when needed. This collection includes many vacation home plans, including designs for sloping lots with a view. To maximize space, choose a plan with an open layout and excellent indoor/outdoor connections. Whether built as a simple starter home or a luxurious retirement house, there's a two-bedroom home for every budget.
