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 a one-and-a-half-story layout with master on the main floor and recreation space upstairs (first-floor master suite, upper-level game room and loft)
  • Need a narrow-lot design—this plan fits lots just 39 feet wide
  • Seeking a chef kitchen with pantry storage and a central gathering island (kitchen island, walk-in pantry)
  • Prefer first-floor laundry with direct access from the master suite (laundry 1st floor with master access)
  • Love year-round outdoor living from a covered porch (covered front porch)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ finished bedrooms on day one—the loft is unfinished space above the game room
  • Want a single-story ranch—this design spans two stories with stairs
  • Have a wide lot and want an expansive footprint (design is only 39 feet wide)

This plan tends to appeal to:

A covered front porch provides outdoor relaxation, while upstairs a game room and loft add flexible recreation space. With 2 full baths plus a half bath, dedicated first-floor laundry, and split-bedroom design, this plan delivers practical luxury in a compact 39-ft-wide footprint.
