Is this the right plan for you?

Most regret comes from buying a plan that doesn't fit your life. Skim this before you decide.

Great fit if you…
  • Working with a small lot—45-by-48-foot footprint maximizes a compact property
  • Plan to expand later—basement foundation with 9-foot ceiling height enables future square footage
  • Prefer one-level living on day one—all 3 bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry on the main floor
  • Want efficient bathroom sharing—Jack and Jill bathroom is ideal for two secondary bedrooms
  • Need laundry convenience—direct access from master closet to laundry room
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ finished bedrooms immediately—this plan has 3 bedrooms on the main floor
  • Want a slab foundation—the design specifies a basement foundation only
  • Prefer a larger garage—the 2-car front-load garage is 550 sq ft, compact for storage-heavy needs

About this plan

Compact Modern Farmhouse with Basement Expansion Potential

This modern farmhouse ranch home provides 1,642 square feet of single-level living on a tight 45-by-48-foot lot footprint. Built on a basement foundation with 9-foot clearance, this plan offers significant potential for future square footage expansion or storage—a key advantage for tight urban and suburban lots where vertical growth is needed later.

The open-concept great room features a fireplace and 9-foot ceilings, anchored by a kitchen with walk-in pantry and breakfast area. A split-bedroom layout places the primary suite away from two secondary bedrooms, each sharing a practical Jack and Jill bathroom. The master suite includes laundry access from the closet, streamlining the housekeeping cycle. A mudroom manages daily entry and storage near the 2-car front-load garage.

The basement foundation and compact footprint make this plan ideal for lots where single-story expansion downward is more practical than adding a second story. All main-floor bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry are on one level.

  • Exterior elevations (all sides)
  • Detailed floor plan(s) with dimensions
