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…
  • Need first-floor owner's suite with accessibility to laundry from the garage
  • Working with a narrow lot—this design is just 24 feet 8 inches wide
  • Want a flexible loft space for a home office or study (491 sq ft upper level with loft)
  • Require 2.5 bathrooms plus main-floor powder room (2 full, 1 half bath)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ finished bedrooms on day one—this plan has 2 bedrooms plus loft upstairs; 2 of the 3 bedroom spaces are upstairs
  • Prefer a single-level layout—this is a split-level design with loft stairs
  • Want a large garage—this plan has only 1 car bay (250 sq ft)

This plan tends to appeal to:
