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…
  • Have a large family or frequently host extended family (3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 half bath)
  • Love covered outdoor living and entertaining — 1,134 sq ft of covered porches (front and rear)
  • Working with a wide lot — the design needs 88 feet 4 inches of width
  • Want a flexible bonus room for a home office, media room, or guest suite (bonus room included)
  • Prefer single-story living with no stairs (one-story layout with 10-foot ceilings)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Have a narrow lot under 80 feet — this design requires 88 feet 4 inches of width
  • Want a compact footprint to keep build costs down (2,439 sq ft heated plus 1,134 sq ft of covered porches)
  • Need a side-load or rear-load garage — this plan features a front-load 2-car garage
  • Prefer a finished basement — this plan is built on a crawl space foundation with no basement

About this plan

The Ruby Retreat is a sprawling single-story farmhouse spanning 2,439 square feet of heated living space, optimized for wider lots measuring 88 ft 4.5 in in width and 70 ft 7 in in depth. Its exterior profile is defined by a steep 11:12 roof pitch and board and batten siding, achieving a total building height of 22 ft 11 in. This design prioritizes outdoor connectivity, incorporating a 281 sq ft covered front porch and an expansive 853 sq ft rear porch that expands the usable footprint to 4,490 square feet of total under-roof area.

The interior architecture centers on an open-concept core where the kitchen, dining, and living zones converge. A central fireplace anchors the living area, while the 10 ft ceiling height throughout the main level enhances the vertical volume. The kitchen is equipped with a large island for meal preparation and a dedicated walk-in pantry to ensure organization, while the nearby laundry room provides direct access to service zones.

The primary suite is positioned for privacy, featuring a dedicated en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet. The remaining two bedrooms are oriented to provide separation and comfort, with proximity to additional full bathrooms. A flexible bonus room is integrated into the plan, offering utility as a home office, media room, or guest suite depending on specific spatial requirements.

Constructed with 2x6 wall framing and stick-built roof rafters, the Ruby Retreat is engineered for structural longevity. The layout includes a 917 sq ft front-load 2-car garage, which provides ample space for vehicle storage and utility. The home is built on a crawl space foundation, facilitating maintenance access while maintaining a grounded, approachable aesthetic.

Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, 2,439 sq ft heated area, 11:12 roof pitch, 10 ft ceiling heights, 2-car front-load garage, bonus room, walk-in pantry, covered front and rear porches, crawl space foundation, 2x6 exterior wall framing.
