Is this the right plan for you?

Great fit if you…
  • Want everything on one level — no stairs, ever
  • Value open kitchen-to-living flow for entertaining
  • Have a wide lot (best at 60+ feet)
  • Want a full basement to expand later
  • Are building a forever home or retirement home
  • Want 10-ft ceilings without going two-story
May not be the best fit if you…
  • Are empty nesters, a couple, or a small family
  • Have a lot narrower than 55 feet
  • Need 4+ bedrooms for a larger family
  • Want to maximize sq footage on a small footprint
  • Need a built-in in-law suite or separate ADU
  • Prefer a traditional or colonial style
