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 sloped or waterfront lot — the walkout basement maximizes terrain advantages (optional 1,389 sq ft basement with 9-ft ceilings)
  • Want a main-floor owner's suite with privacy (first-floor master suite separated from secondary bedrooms)
  • Love covered outdoor living (735 sq ft of combined covered porch and deck space)
  • Seeking a compact main level with expansion potential (2,136 sq ft main floor plus optional basement)
  • Need a chef kitchen with a walk-in pantry (kitchen island with eating bar plus dedicated walk-in pantry)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Have a flat lot without slope — the walkout basement is optimized for sloped terrain
  • Need 3+ bedrooms on the main level — this plan offers 2 bedrooms with optional basement expansion
  • Want a large garage or vehicle storage — this design has no garage bays
  • Prefer a single-level layout without basement potential — the walkout foundation is a core design feature

About this plan

Emerald Shores 30344 is a coastal-inspired residence spanning 2,136 square feet of heated living area, specifically engineered for waterfront or sloped lots. Measuring 63 feet 4 inches wide by 59 feet deep, the structure maximizes external views through an expansive 735 square feet of combined covered porch and deck space. The low-profile 8:12 roof pitch and 21-foot 10-inch maximum building height maintain a proportionate silhouette against scenic landscapes.

The main level centers on an open-concept core that integrates the great room, kitchen, and formal dining area. With 10-foot ceilings throughout the first floor, the interior feels airy and allows for significant natural light penetration. The kitchen features a large island with an integrated eating bar and a dedicated walk-in pantry to provide efficient storage and preparation zones. A fireplace serves as the central anchor for the great room, maintaining a clear line of sight toward the rear outdoor living areas.

Privacy is prioritized through a split-bedroom layout that separates the primary suite from secondary living quarters. The first-floor master suite includes a private bathroom equipped with double vanity sinks and a walk-in closet. A second bedroom, a full bathroom, and a conveniently located mudroom and laundry room round out the main level, ensuring that daily tasks and private retreats remain distinct from the social zones.

An optional 1,389-square-foot walkout basement offers significant expansion potential for homeowners. Featuring 9-foot ceilings, this level is suited for conversion into additional guest suites, media rooms, or recreation spaces, particularly for properties with sloped terrain. This flexible foundation design allows the home to adapt to site-specific topography while increasing the total potential building area to 4,260 square feet.

Key Features: 2,136 sq ft main level, 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, optional 1,389 sq ft walkout basement, 10-foot first-floor ceilings, 735 sq ft of outdoor porch and deck area, kitchen island with eating bar, walk-in pantry, mudroom, fireplace, and laundry room.
