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…
  • You are building on a sloping lot suitable for a walkout basement.
  • You want all bedrooms grouped on a separate lower level.
  • You need a dedicated home office near the main entry.
  • You want both a great room and a lower-level family room.
  • You prefer a compact footprint with distinct living zones.
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • You need all primary living spaces on one level.
  • You want the primary suite on the main floor.
  • You are building on a flat lot where a walkout basement is not practical.
  • You need a garage integrated into the home.
  • You prefer a more traditional single-level bedroom layout.

About this plan

Built around a full walkout lower level, this 1,986 sq ft home places the entire bedroom wing below the main living floor, creating a clear separation between public and private spaces. The compact 34-foot-wide footprint rises from the site with a covered front porch and foyer above, while the lower level opens outward to take advantage of sloping terrain and natural light.The main floor is experienced as a continuous entertaining level. A great room with a fireplace forms the central gathering space and connects directly to the kitchen island and walk-in pantry, while the formal dining room provides a more defined setting for meals. A home office is positioned near the foyer for quieter work or study. The lower level contains all three bedrooms, including the primary suite with a private bath and walk-in closet, along with a family room that serves as a secondary living area and keeps bedroom circulation separate from the main floor.The walkout basement foundation is fundamental to the design, with the lower level also housing the laundry area and additional storage opportunities. The front porch offers a modest outdoor entry sequence, while the split-level organization makes the home especially well suited to sloping lots that benefit from daylight access on the lower floor. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.
