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 substantial garage space for projects or vehicles (three-bay garage, 800+ sq ft)
  • Want a single bedroom with a master-level laundry connection (second-floor laundry accessible from master)
  • Prefer an open, airy layout with a social kitchen (open-concept family room and kitchen with island)
  • Looking for a compact, easy-to-maintain home (1,000 sq ft on a slab foundation)
  • Work from home or run a small business from garage space
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need multiple bedrooms or guest accommodations (1 bedroom only)
  • Require a main-floor laundry room (laundry is on the second floor)
  • Want to avoid stairs or prefer single-story living (two-story plan with bedroom upstairs)
  • Need a large, sprawling footprint (footprint is just 39 ft × 39 ft)

About this plan

A Craftsman Carriage House Built for Compact Living

This 1,000 sq ft Craftsman house plan reimagines the carriage house with a sophisticated two-story design centered on an open-concept living experience. The defining feature is the three-bay front-load garage—a massive 800+ sq ft structure providing ample space for parking, workshop projects, or a home gym. The upper level hosts a bright, airy open social core where the family room and gourmet kitchen flow naturally together, anchored by a functional island that serves as a natural gathering point.

The second-floor master suite is an immaculate sanctuary with high-end finishes and direct laundry access from the bedroom for ultimate convenience. A dedicated mud room and specialized storage zones add practical value to the design. The striking Craftsman exterior, with its architectural volume and numerous windows, creates a prominent presence while the solid slab foundation ensures durability and easy maintenance. Ruby Grace delivers comfort and style in a highly efficient, manageable footprint.
