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…
  • Work from home and need a dedicated office space—a first-floor home office or study provides a private, separate workspace (home office/study feature)
  • Love expansive outdoor living and entertaining—covered porches span approximately 712 square feet (extensive covered porch areas)
  • Want a detached garage arrangement that recalls classic estate design—connected by a porte cochere for protected access and architectural character (detached 2-car garage with porte cochere)
  • Appreciate authentic bungalow character with stone exterior, broad rooflines, and craftsmanship (Bungalow style, stone exterior, 6:12 pitch)
  • Prefer main-floor living convenience with a first-floor master suite, laundry, and living spaces (first-floor master suite, first-floor laundry)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need all three bedrooms on the main floor—two bedrooms are located upstairs (upper-level bedrooms)
  • Want a single-level ranch layout without upper-level spaces (two-level design, 2,222 sq ft)
  • Have a narrow lot under 48 feet—this design requires 50 feet of width
  • Seeking a compact footprint to minimize building and land costs (2,222 sq ft across two levels, 50-by-67-foot footprint)

About this plan

This timeless bungalow residence merges classic American bungalow charm with spacious modern interiors and outdoor living. Arranged across two levels, the home contains 2,222 square feet of heated living space—1,700 on the main floor and 522 upstairs—within a 50-by-67-foot footprint. Hallmark bungalow features include broad rooflines, stone exterior detailing, a 6:12 roof pitch, and 2x6 exterior framing. Most distinctively, expansive covered porches spanning approximately 712 square feet create an exceptional outdoor living environment and reinforce the home's welcoming character.

A formal foyer opens into generous gathering spaces anchored by a keeping or family room with a fireplace. The open kitchen features a center island, eating bar, breakfast area, and walk-in pantry, flowing naturally into a formal dining room. A first-floor master suite offers privacy with a walk-in closet and dual-vanity bath. The plan also includes a dedicated home office or study—a valuable feature for remote work or flexible household needs. A detached two-car garage connected by a porte cochere recalls classic estate traditions while offering protected access and distinctive curb appeal.

Additional amenities include first-floor laundry, a utility room, rear patio, three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a powder room. The combination of authentic bungalow architecture, generous porches, and thoughtful interior organization creates a home distinguished by both charm and everyday practicality.
