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 sloped or lakefront lot — walkout basement design maximizes the site
  • Want a first-floor master suite for single-level living (master on main floor)
  • Enjoy wine collecting or entertaining — wine cellar in the walkout basement
  • Prefer an open floor plan with a fireplace (open layout with fireplace in living room)
  • Love covered outdoor living (screened porch or sunroom)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need multiple bedrooms for a growing family — this plan has only 2 bedrooms
  • Prefer a traditional basement — this design features a walkout basement only
  • Want a two-story layout — this is a single-story home with a walkout basement
  • Need a garage — this plan does not include garage bays

About this plan

This charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers 1,940 sq ft of heated living space, with 970 sq ft on both the first floor and walkout basement. The home's open floor plan seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining area, and living room, creating a spacious, inviting atmosphere. A fireplace adds warmth and character to the living room, perfect for relaxation.

The kitchen is equipped with a butler’s pantry for extra storage and convenience, while the first-floor laundry adds practicality. The first-floor master suite offers a private retreat, with a layout designed for comfort and ease. A screened porch or sunroom extends the living space, providing a peaceful area to enjoy the outdoors.

The walkout basement includes a wine cellar and additional space for storage or recreation. Built with durable 2x6 wall framing and a 6:12 roof pitch, this home combines efficiency and style. With 8’ ceiling heights on both floors, the home feels open and airy throughout.
