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…
  • Plan to age in place or want accessible multi-level living — the built-in elevator provides seamless transit between floors without stairs
  • Need a second-floor master suite with ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet for privacy and convenience (master suite on second floor)
  • Value a second-floor laundry room to avoid carrying loads between levels (second-floor laundry, 1,614 sq ft residential core upstairs)
  • Want a dedicated workshop area for hobbies or storage without consuming main living space (169 sq ft workshop on garage level)
  • Building on a compact 40×46 ft footprint and need maximum interior livability (1,783 sq ft on a small footprint)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Prefer a single-story layout with no multi-level complexity — this design concentrates living on the second floor with stairs or elevator required
  • Need four or more bedrooms — this plan has three bedrooms total
  • Want the master suite on the main floor for quick bedtime access — the master is on the second floor
  • Prefer a rear-load or side-load garage — this features a front-load garage that defines the entry façade

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Carriage Home with Built-In Elevator and Second-Floor Living

This Carriage-style luxury home spans 1,783 square feet and prioritizes vertical utility on a compact 40-foot-by-46-foot footprint. A built-in elevator provides seamless, accessible transit between the garage level and the second floor, making this plan ideal for aging-in-place considerations or those seeking effortless multi-level living.

The first level (169 sq ft) features a foyer and dedicated workshop area, with the 1,579-square-foot front-load 2-car garage serving as the structural base. The elevator rises directly to the primary residential core on the second floor, where 1,614 square feet of living space houses three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Nine-foot ceilings throughout maintain vertical volume and light distribution across all private quarters.

The second-floor master suite is positioned for privacy and includes an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. The kitchen features a walk-in pantry and overlooks the central living area, while a dedicated second-floor laundry room eliminates the need to travel between levels during daily tasks. A loft and balcony provide additional circulation and flexible space. Outside, 113 square feet of deck space offers ventilation and outdoor utility.

  • Built-in elevator for accessible, age-friendly circulation
  • Second-floor laundry eliminates vertical travel
  • Master suite with ensuite bath and walk-in closet
  • Workshop area on the garage level for hobbies or storage
  • 9-foot ceilings maintain spacious, open feel
