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 space with a bonus room for home office, media, or guest use (490 sq ft upstairs)
  • Love covered outdoor entertaining (248 sq ft total porch area with front and rear porches)
  • Plan to age in place with main-floor master, laundry, and living on one level
  • Need a 2-car garage for vehicles or storage (462 sq ft 2-car garage)
  • Seeking a 3-bedroom home with additional finished space (1,976 sq ft total)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms — this plan has 3 bedrooms plus a bonus room (the bonus room is unfinished space)
  • Prefer a single-story layout — the bonus room is upstairs and requires stairs to access
  • Want a 1-car garage — this plan includes 2 garage bays
  • Looking for a compact footprint to keep costs down (1,976 sq ft across two levels)

About this plan

Craftsman with Bonus Room and Outdoor Living

This elegant 3-bedroom Craftsman home spans 1,976 sq ft across a 49 ft by 49 ft footprint, offering a main floor of 1,486 sq ft and a 490 sq ft bonus room upstairs. The design features 248 sq ft of combined porch area—a 155 sq ft covered front porch and 93 sq ft rear porch—providing substantial outdoor integration and entertaining space.

The main level centers on an open-concept core where the kitchen island connects to the keeping room and breakfast area, with 9-foot ceilings enhancing volume and light. The first-floor master suite includes a private bath with double vanity and walk-in closet. The flexible bonus room on the upper level accommodates a home office, media room, or guest suite, with 8-foot ceilings providing a distinct secondary living zone.

The layout includes a 2-car garage (462 sq ft), first-floor laundry, and walk-in pantry for efficiency. A half bath on the main level complements the 2 full baths. Classic Craftsman details include a 12:12 and 9:12 roof pitch and 24 ft 8 in maximum building height.
