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…
  • Multi-generational or extended-family households (3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths with split layout)
  • Outdoor entertainers who value front and rear wrapped porches plus a covered back porch
  • Families needing flexible space beyond bedrooms (bonus room plus two-story grand room)
  • Home-based workers with a versatile bonus room for office use
  • Buyers drawn to farmhouse or country aesthetics with wraparound porch presence
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Buyers wanting a single-story, main-floor-only layout (this is a two-story plan with bedrooms upstairs)
  • Those needing a compact footprint to minimize build costs (2,065 sq ft across two floors)
  • Working with a very narrow lot—design requires 40–49 ft width

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Traditional Farmhouse with Grand Gathering Spaces

The Chestnut is a 2,065 sq ft farmhouse plan spanning two stories with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a two-car garage. The standout feature is a two-story grand room with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace, anchoring the open-concept social core. A gourmet kitchen includes an island and butler's pantry for both everyday cooking and entertaining.

The first-floor master suite provides a private owner's retreat with a double-vanity bath and walk-in closet. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a versatile bonus room offer flexibility for guests, hobbies, or a home office. A wraparound porch, covered front and rear porches, plus a mud room round out the thoughtfully planned layout.

With split-bedroom separation and 2.5 total bathrooms, this design suits active families who value outdoor living, hosting, and dedicated workspaces alongside traditional farmhouse charm.
