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…
  • • Building on a sloped site where a walkout basement adds functional living space (3 bedrooms plus 992 sq ft bonus room)
  • • Want a primary suite on the main floor with a private bath and walk-in closet (upstairs is flexible)
  • • Seeking flexible bonus room space for media, hobbies, or guest retreat (992 sq ft unfinished bonus area)
  • • Love outdoor entertaining — 450 sq ft rear deck plus covered front porch (594 sq ft total covered porch/deck)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • • Prefer a single-story layout — this is a two-story design with main level living and a bonus upper area
  • • Need 4+ finished bedrooms immediately — plan has 3 bedrooms plus an unfinished bonus room
  • • Want a one-car garage — this plan includes a 2-car garage only

About this plan

Lakefront Cottage with Bonus Room and Walkout Basement

The Ellie spans 1,784 square feet of heated living space across two stories, engineered for sites with a walkout basement foundation. Measuring 56 feet in width and 52 feet in depth, this cottage-style home features a steep 10:12 roof pitch and reaches 35 feet in maximum height—ideal for coastal or lakefront environments.

The elevated primary level includes an open-concept kitchen with island, formal dining room, and living room centered around a fireplace. The master suite features a private bath and walk-in closet. A 144 square foot covered front porch and 450 square foot rear deck extend living outdoors. A flexible bedroom or home office rounds out the main level.

A 992 square foot bonus room offers significant expansion potential for media, hobbies, or guest space. The ground level includes a 790 square foot two-car garage and walkout basement, which can accommodate a family room or game room. With 3 full bathrooms and 1 half bathroom, the layout supports multi-generational living and frequent guests. Construction features 2x6 wall framing and truss roof design.
