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…
  • Want a single-story layout with no stairs (one-story bungalow)
  • Prefer a traditional craftsman aesthetic with covered front porch and rear deck
  • Need a 1-bay garage for one vehicle without dominating the front facade (side-load orientation)
  • Seeking an efficient floor plan on a standard lot width (60 feet wide)
  • Plan to age in place with master suite and laundry on the main floor
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a 2-car or larger garage—this plan has only 1 bay
  • Have a narrow lot under 50 feet—this design requires 60 feet of width
  • Want a two-story home with upstairs bedrooms (single-story only)
  • Need 4+ bedrooms for a large family—this plan has 3 bedrooms

About this plan

Caroline 2 is a 1,686 square foot single-story bungalow that utilizes a 60-foot width and 55-foot depth footprint to deliver a compact, efficient residential layout. The exterior is defined by a traditional craftsman aesthetic, featuring a 101 square foot covered front porch that provides a clear entry point into the main living core. With a maximum building height of 19 feet 7 inches and a 7:12 roof pitch, the structure maintains a classic profile suitable for standard residential lots.

The interior architecture centers on an open-concept arrangement where the family room, dining area, and kitchen share a unified volume. This core is enhanced by 9-foot ceiling heights throughout, which increase the perception of scale within the 1,686 square foot heated living area. The kitchen is anchored by a central island, while a fireplace serves as a fixed focal point for the family room. A 120 square foot rear deck extends the living space to the exterior, providing a transition between the interior social zone and the backyard.

A split-bedroom configuration separates the primary suite from the two secondary bedrooms to ensure acoustic and visual privacy. The primary suite includes a private bathroom and a walk-in closet, while the two additional bedrooms share a second full bathroom. This layout also incorporates a dedicated laundry room on the main level to centralize household maintenance tasks within the primary living footprint.

Structural accessibility is supported by a 484 square foot 1-bay side-load garage, which keeps the front elevation clean and unobstructed by vehicle storage. The side-entry orientation optimizes driveway utility while minimizing the visual impact of the garage on the street-facing façade. This design balances the requirements of a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration with the practical needs of modern property management.

Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, single-story layout, split-bedroom configuration, kitchen island, fireplace, 1-bay side-load garage, covered front porch, rear deck, 9-foot ceilings, 1,686 total sq ft.
