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…
  • Looking to downsize or build a primary residence on a tight budget (approximately 627 sq ft, below 800 sq ft category)
  • Want a single-story home with no stairs and everything on one floor (one-story cottage layout)
  • Need a first-floor master suite for aging in place or accessibility (first-floor owner's suite with laundry)
  • Working with a very narrow lot — this design fits in just 39 ft of width
  • Seeking low maintenance and utility costs with a compact footprint
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need more than two bedrooms for a growing family — this plan has only 2 bedrooms
  • Want a two-story home with upstairs bedrooms — this is a single-story design
  • Require more than one bathroom — this plan has just 1 full bath
  • Need a garage or carport — this plan does not include garage bays
  • Prefer a larger footprint over 800 sq ft

This plan tends to appeal to:
