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 narrow lot under 50 ft—this design is just 40–49 ft wide
  • Want a main-floor master suite to age in place (first-floor owner's suite with double vanity and walk-in closet)
  • Seeking a compact, efficient home to minimize build and utility costs (1,893 sq ft across two stories)
  • Need a home office or hobby space without sacrificing bedroom count (upper-level loft)
  • Appreciate contemporary architecture with smart open-concept design
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ finished bedrooms—this plan has 3 bedrooms plus a loft
  • Prefer a single-story home with no stairs (this is a two-story plan)
  • Have a wide lot and want generous square footage (just 1,893 sq ft on a 40–49 ft-wide footprint)
  • Want all bedrooms on the main floor—secondary bedrooms are upstairs, requiring stairs for guests

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Compact Modern Living with Two Stories

The Jade reinterprets modern living in a sophisticated 1,893 sq ft two-story design ideal for downsizers and first-time builders. This three-bedroom home features a two-car side-load garage and crawl space foundation, presenting contemporary lines and a efficient floor plan that maximizes livability.

The main floor centers on an open social core with a voluminous gathering space warmed by a central fireplace and a gourmet kitchen with high-end finishes. The first-floor master suite is a sanctuary with double vanity bath and generous walk-in closet, while dedicated first-floor laundry simplifies daily tasks.

The upper level is dedicated to private space, with additional bedrooms and a versatile loft ideal for a home office, hobby space, or guest retreat. Ten-foot ceilings and abundant windows throughout create a bright, airy feel despite the compact footprint. Two full baths, one half bath, and efficient storage make this plan perfect for modern, active lifestyles.
