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…
  • Downsizing or starting out — 1,244 sq ft with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms
  • Prefer single-level living with no stairs to navigate
  • Want the master suite on the main floor for convenience or aging in place
  • Entertaining on a budget with a 180 sq ft deck and spacious great room
  • Working with a modest lot (40–49 ft wide, 40–49 ft deep)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 3+ bedrooms — this plan has 2
  • Require a two-car garage — none is included
  • Want significant indoor entertaining space (3,000+ sq ft)
  • Prefer a basement for storage or expansion — this plan uses a crawl space foundation
