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…
  • Working with a narrow lot under 60 feet wide — this design is just 53 feet across
  • Want to maximize square footage on a sloped site (walkout basement adds 1,239 sq ft)
  • Need a single-story main level with no stairs to bedrooms (one-story layout with master suite on main floor)
  • Love outdoor entertaining spaces (covered front porch, rear patio, and 957 sq ft deck)
  • Seeking a compact footprint with open living (1,200 sq ft main level with great room, kitchen, and dining flow)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need multiple bedrooms — this plan has only 1 bedroom
  • Prefer a completely single-level home — the finished basement requires stairs
  • Want a large main-floor footprint (53 feet wide is narrow)
  • Need a 3+ car garage — this design includes a 2-car garage only

About this plan

Contemporary 24505 is a 1,243 square foot modern home optimized for narrow lots measuring 53 feet in width and 79 feet in depth. This single-story design utilizes a walkout basement configuration to double the usable square footage, providing a total of 2,482 square feet of combined finished living space. The exterior features a 169 square foot front porch and a 485 square foot rear patio, establishing a clear connection between the interior living zones and the surrounding property.

The main level centers on an open-concept great room that incorporates 9-foot ceilings to enhance the internal volume. A fireplace serves as the central anchor for the living area, which transitions into a kitchen equipped with an eating bar and a walk-in pantry. The floor plan includes a private master suite with a sitting area and a dedicated walk-in closet, ensuring a clear separation of private quarters from the social core.

A 1,239 square foot finished basement provides additional utility, featuring a walkout design that integrates directly with a 957 square foot deck. This lower level serves as a flexible area for media or guest accommodation, maintaining 9-foot ceiling heights consistent with the main level. The home is topped by a roof structure with 3:12 and 6:12 pitches, resulting in a maximum building height of 17 feet 1 inch.

Structural efficiency is maintained through a 672 square foot side-load 2-car garage that preserves the visual integrity of the front facade. By positioning the garage to the side, the design avoids obstructing the primary elevation, allowing the porch and architectural lines to remain the focal point of the exterior profile. This configuration is well-suited for sloped sites where a walkout basement can be leveraged to maximize utility.

Key Features: 1,243 sq ft main level, 1,239 sq ft finished basement, walkout basement, side-load 2-car garage, 9-foot ceilings, open-concept great room, walk-in pantry, kitchen eating bar, master suite with sitting area, 17-foot 1-inch building height.
