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…
  • Love outdoor entertaining with multiple spaces — covered porches, outdoor fireplace, and outdoor kitchen
  • Want expansion potential with a full basement — wine cellar, media room, or playroom options
  • Need a dedicated home office and media room on the main floor
  • Prefer all main-floor living with no stairs — single-story design with first-floor master and laundry
  • Want separate his-and-hers master closets and a jack-and-jill bathroom for secondary bedrooms
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms — this plan has 3 bedrooms
  • Prefer one-story without basement complications — this design includes a full basement requiring excavation
  • Want a compact footprint to minimize costs — this plan is 2,600 sq ft with extensive outdoor features

About this plan

Single-Story Craftsman with Outdoor Kitchen and Wine Cellar

The Nantahala Cottage 2685 is an elegant 2,600 sq ft modern farmhouse spanning one story with three bedrooms, two full baths, and one half bath on a basement foundation. This Craftsman-style home features an attractive brick and stone exterior, open-concept layout, and abundant windows that flood interior spaces with natural light. The design centers on practical main-floor living with optional basement expansion.

The heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen equipped with high-end finishes, walk-in pantry, and kitchen island, flowing into a bright family room warmed by a central fireplace. The first-floor master suite provides an immaculate sanctuary with high-end finishes and separate his-and-hers closets. A home office, mud room, media room, and formal dining room round out versatile main-floor spaces. A jack-and-jill bathroom connects two secondary bedrooms.

Outdoor entertaining is a major draw, with covered front and rear porches, an outdoor fireplace, and outdoor kitchen. The basement foundation opens possibilities for a wine cellar, additional media space, or playroom. With a two-car front-load garage and 90-99 ft width, this design balances style and expandability for families seeking year-round entertaining and basement potential.
