The size is not far off, but might be a bit low. Depends on the windows and wall insulation values. If well and tight windows with storms or double pane, It should be great. If leaky, go to 45 or 50K. I also recommend a condensing furnace with a efficiency rating well into the 90s. The cold air return is basically too small at 12X12. It should be more like 18X12. The higher blower forces needed with small ducts and returns, are going to make velocity in them highenough to make noise. Your install should be quiet, especially if there is a dual or variable output combustor. The intake "Square inches of the plenum should be used to judge the sixze of the intake side. Use an electronic programmable thermostat. Use of a condensing furnace removes the exhaust from the need for a chemney (See local codes) and will require a drain or pump to drain, for the condensate, and an air intake pipe from the external air (out of the house) The intake and exhaust are usually 2" or 2.5" PVC. Have a gas professional check the piping for code, and get a permit. Loosing you entire capital goods to a lawsuit does not equate to a good tactic if things go wrong W/O the permits, and inspection.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
