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 urban lot (just 25 ft wide by 27 ft 6 in deep)
  • Want a two-story layout to maximize privacy (master suite on the second floor)
  • Need flexibility with a first-floor bedroom (useful for guests or home office)
  • Prefer laundry upstairs near the bedrooms (second-floor laundry)
  • Seeking Craftsman-style architecture on a compact footprint (2 bedrooms, 2 baths)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 3+ bedrooms—this plan has only 2
  • Prefer a single-story layout to avoid stairs (this is a two-story design)
  • Want a garage—none is included in this plan
  • Need a lot wider than 39 feet—this design requires approximately 25 ft of width

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Vertical Efficiency for Urban Lots

This 970 sq ft Craftsman house plan maximizes vertical utility on a narrow footprint of 25 by 27 feet 6 inches. The two-story design combines 652 sq ft on the main level with 318 sq ft on the second floor, creating distinct zones for living and privacy without expanding the building footprint.

The main floor features an open-concept great room with sightlines to the kitchen and breakfast area, anchored by a kitchen island and wall pantry. A flexible first-floor bedroom and full bathroom offer options for guests or aging-in-place use. The second floor houses the master suite with a walk-in closet and private bathroom, plus second-floor laundry to minimize stair travel.

Finished in Craftsman style with an 8:12 roof pitch and covered front porch, the home reaches 23 feet 8 inches tall. Built on a slab foundation with 2x4 framing, it balances compact site utility with distinct architectural presence.

  • Exterior elevations (all sides)
  • Detailed floor plan(s) with dimensions
  • Foundation plan
  • Roof plan
