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 — dedicated home office with private, partitioned space
  • Need a 3-car garage for multiple vehicles or storage (748 sq ft 3-car front-load garage)
  • Want a single-story layout with no stairs (one-story ranch)
  • Plan to age in place — master suite, laundry, and all living on the main floor
  • Prefer split-bedroom privacy — master isolated from secondary bedrooms
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms — this plan has 3
  • Want a two-story layout to maximize lot coverage — this is single-story only
  • Have a narrow lot under 50 feet — this design needs 50 to 59 feet of width
  • Want a compact footprint to keep build costs down (1,812 sq ft, single story)
  • Require a rear-load garage — this plan has a front-load 3-car garage

About this plan

Spanning 1,812 square feet of heated living space, the Carthage is a single-story ranch house plan engineered for efficient site utilization on a 50-foot wide lot. This design emphasizes a 10:12 roof pitch and a maximum building height of 26 feet, creating a vertical presence that defines its European-inspired exterior aesthetic.

The interior architecture centers on an open-concept great room, which utilizes 10-foot ceilings to promote interior volume and light distribution. The kitchen serves as the primary axis of the home, equipped with a central island and a walk-in pantry that transitions into the dining area. A dedicated home office provides a private, partitioned space for remote work, while the split-bedroom layout ensures the primary suite remains isolated from the two secondary bedrooms to enhance privacy.

Technical site integration includes a 58-square-foot front porch and a 93-square-foot rear porch, totaling 151 square feet of outdoor coverage. The primary suite features direct laundry access via the walk-in closet, streamlining daily chores. The home is built with a 67-foot 11-inch depth, requiring a lot size that accommodates its elongated footprint while maintaining clear access to the exterior living zones.

Practicality remains a priority in the structural layout, featuring a 748-square-foot 3-car front-load garage. This garage configuration provides significant storage capacity and maintains a direct connection to the mudroom, which serves as a transition zone between the parking area and the interior living quarters. The construction utilizes a consistent ceiling height throughout the main level to ensure spatial continuity.

Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,812 sq ft, split-bedroom layout, home office, 3-car front-load garage, 10-foot ceilings, 10:12 roof pitch, walk-in pantry, laundry access from primary closet, mudroom, covered front and rear porches.
