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 three bedrooms and two baths in a single-story layout with no stairs (3 bed, 2 bath, 1 story)
  • Appreciate a split-bedroom design that keeps the master suite separate from other bedrooms
  • Prefer a moderate footprint in the 1,100–1,200 sq ft range
  • Need first-floor laundry and a one-car garage (1-car front-load garage)
  • Working with a lot in the 40–49 ft width and depth range
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need more than two full bathrooms — only 2 baths are provided for 3 bedrooms
  • Require a two-story design with upper-level bedrooms (this is single-story only)
  • Want a three-car garage — only 1 car bay is included
  • Need a larger footprint over 1,500 sq ft — this plan is approximately 1,187 sq ft

About this plan

Single-Story Family Home with Split-Bedroom Layout

The Fern Oasis delivers thoughtful single-story living in 1,187 sq ft, combining three bedrooms and two full bathrooms with a one-car front-load garage. The open-concept social core features a bright kitchen equipped with an eating bar, flowing naturally into the living area for seamless daily interaction. Multiple windows ensure abundant natural light throughout the home.

The split-bedroom layout keeps the first-floor master suite and its walk-in closet separate from secondary bedrooms, providing privacy and flexibility for families or multi-generational living. High-end finishes enhance the owner's sanctuary, while the clever floor plan maximizes livability across a compact 45 ft width and depth. Covered front porch extends the home's outdoor presence, and first-floor laundry plus slab foundation support efficient daily routines. This cottage-style home balances style, comfort, and practicality for active modern households.
