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…
  • Want three bedrooms with all living on one floor and a two-car garage (no stairs to bedrooms or vehicles)
  • Need a compact, efficient footprint at 1,286 sq ft to minimize build and maintenance costs
  • Appreciate a cluster-bedroom layout where children's rooms are grouped near the master suite
  • Value practical features — first-floor laundry and master-suite convenience built in
  • Prefer contemporary craftsman style with open-concept vaulted ceilings in an affordable package
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a deep yard or rear outdoor living space — the plan prioritizes a front covered porch; no rear porch is mentioned
  • Require a three-car garage — this design includes two bays only
  • Want a larger footprint — at 1,286 sq ft, this is a deliberately compact design

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

The Sebastian distills modern living into a 1,286 sq ft craftsman design that feels substantially larger than its compact footprint. This three-bedroom, two-bath cottage features a two-car garage, slab foundation, and vertical siding, delivering contemporary comfort with thoughtful efficiency. Open-concept vaulted ceilings create an airy sense of scale, while a first-floor master suite and laundry room anchor practical, low-maintenance living.

The plan centers on a bright great room and a gourmet kitchen with an island and eating bar, flowing seamlessly throughout. The first-floor owner's suite offers a lavish bath and generous walk-in closet, providing a private retreat for rest and comfort. A cluster-bedroom layout keeps secondary bedrooms grouped for family connection while preserving individual privacy. An inviting front covered porch and thoughtfully organized interior deliver a perfect balance of style and daily efficiency for an active household.
