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…
  • • Building on a lake, mountain, or sloped lot where a walkout basement makes sense
  • • Have a large family or host often (5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 2 half baths)
  • • Want the primary suite on the main floor with its own deck access (first floor master suite)
  • • Need dedicated work-from-home space away from the main living area (home office study)
  • • Want extra finished living space beyond the main floor (1,683 sf walkout basement with social room and bar)
  • • Love indoor-outdoor entertaining (decks on both levels off the lake room and basement social room)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • • Need a single-story layout with no stairs (this is a two-story plan with a walkout basement level)
  • • Require an attached garage (this plan has 0 garage bays)
  • • Want a compact, budget-friendly footprint (3,573 sf across two finished levels)
  • • Are building on a flat lot with no grade change (design is built around a walkout basement)
  • • Need bedrooms concentrated on one level for easy family access (bedrooms split between main floor and basement)

About this plan

The Pine Lake Cottage opens toward water views before you even step inside, its board-and-batten farmhouse exterior built around a walkout basement that turns the lower level into genuine living space rather than storage. At 3,573 square feet across two stories, this five-bedroom lake house pairs 1,890 square feet on the main floor with a 1,683-square-foot walkout level below, all beneath an 8:12 roof pitch.

The main floor centers on a voluminous lake room that opens directly into a gourmet kitchen with a large island and eating bar, letting entertaining spill from cooking to conversation without interruption. A first-floor master suite retreats to its own wing with a lavish bath and direct deck access, while a dedicated home office carves out quiet space away from the social core. Down in the walkout basement, a massive social room with a built-in bar opens straight to the backyard, joined by additional bedrooms and specialized storage that make full use of the grade change.

Expansive decks on both levels extend the water-facing views outdoors, while vaulted ceilings and oversized windows keep natural light moving through the open floor plan above. Built with 2x4 wall framing and four full baths plus two half baths, the home is sized for large families and frequent guests. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.
