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…
  • Looking to age in place—master suite, laundry, and all living areas on one floor (single-story, first-floor master)
  • Want covered outdoor living at front and rear (covered front and rear porches)
  • Prefer a split-bedroom layout for privacy (secondary bedrooms separated from master suite)
  • Need easy laundry access from the garage (first-floor laundry with garage access)
  • Value a chef kitchen with casual dining (kitchen island, eating bar, breakfast area)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need more than 3 bedrooms—this plan has 2 secondary bedrooms plus a master
  • Prefer an open-concept kitchen without formal separation—this includes a separate formal dining room
  • Looking for a compact footprint to minimize build costs (1,679 sq ft may exceed budget constraints for very cost-conscious buyers)

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Main Floor Convenience

This Cottage-style house plan offers 1,679 square feet of living space in a single-story layout centered on privacy and efficient circulation. A split-bedroom arrangement separates the first-floor master suite from two secondary bedrooms, while covered front and rear porches frame the traditional brick exterior and extend outdoor living on both sides of the home.

The open interior flows from a foyer into a central living area warmed by a fireplace. The kitchen features a large island, eating bar, and breakfast area overlooking the gathering spaces, with a formal dining room nearby for entertaining. The master suite includes a walk-in closet and double vanity bath, while first-floor laundry with garage access keeps daily tasks convenient. A side-entry two-car garage preserves the front elevation and complements the home's balanced design.
