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 flexible bedroom configuration—2 to 5 bedrooms depending on upper-level finish and bonus room use
  • Seeking a compact footprint with multiple practical features (1,400 sq ft with laundry, workshop, and media room)
  • Love covered outdoor living on both sides (covered front and rear porches)
  • Need workshop or hobby space plus laundry options (workshop, first and second-floor laundry)
  • Drawn to cottage farmhouse style on a modest lot (60–69 ft width)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ finished bedrooms on day one—this plan has 2 finished bedrooms; upper level adds expandable space
  • Want a true single-story layout without stairs—this is a 1.5-story design
  • Require 3+ full bathrooms—this plan has 2 full baths

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Compact Farmhouse with Flexible Bedroom Options

The Charleston is a charming farmhouse spanning 1,400 sq ft on a 1.5-story plan, offering flexible bedroom configurations between two and five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a one-car garage. A classic brick exterior and inviting covered front porch establish immediate curb appeal, while an open-concept layout and numerous windows flood the interior with natural light.

The social core features a voluminous living room flowing naturally into a gourmet kitchen with a functional island and walk-in pantry. The first-floor master suite is a serene retreat with high-end finishes, a lavish bath, and generous walk-in closet. Covered front and rear porches provide ideal settings for year-round outdoor enjoyment.

Practical features include a mud room, first-floor laundry, second-floor laundry option, and a versatile bonus room above the garage framed for future finish. A dedicated media room and workshop add flexibility for modern lifestyles. This plan combines cottage charm with functional design, ideal for first-time builders, small families, and those seeking adaptable living space in a modest footprint.
