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 wide lot (70+ ft) — the design is oriented to take advantage of horizontal setbacks
  • Need a first-floor primary suite for aging in place (master suite with private bath and laundry access from garage)
  • Want flexible bonus space without committing to a full fourth bedroom (450 sq ft bonus room on upper level)
  • Require a dedicated work zone apart from family living (separate den on main floor)
  • Looking for basement potential without sacrificing main-floor space (1,573 sq ft daylight basement)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Building on a narrow lot under 60 ft — this design requires 70+ ft of width for its side-load garage and balanced site layout
  • Need 4+ finished bedrooms on day one — this plan has 3 bedrooms, plus a bonus room (bonus room is unfinished or flexible)
  • Prefer an open single-story layout — this is a two-story design with stairs to upper bedrooms
  • Want a front-facing garage — the 3-car garage is side-load to maintain a clean street elevation
  • Have a sloped lot with limited basement daylight — this design benefits from a basement with natural light access

About this plan

Two-Story Design with Bonus Room & Main-Floor Master

The Montara is a transitional two-story home plan offering 2,125 sq ft of heated living space on a wide lot measuring 70.5 ft by 43.1 ft. This design balances modern open-concept living on the main floor with flexible upper-level space, including a 450 sq ft bonus room suitable for a home office, media retreat, or guest suite.

The main level spans 1,475 sq ft and centers on an open family room, kitchen, and breakfast area, unified by a central island and eating bar. The first-floor master suite provides a private retreat with walk-in closet and double-vanity master bath. A separate den offers a quiet zone for focused work, while laundry access from the garage streamlines daily routines. A two-story foyer establishes vertical presence and adds architectural interest.

The upper level adds 650 sq ft with additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and the bonus room. Built on 2x6 wall framing with 9 ft ceilings on the main floor and 8 ft on the second, the home delivers strong thermal efficiency. A 1,573 sq ft daylight basement provides recreation or storage potential, while the 3-car side-load garage keeps the street-facing elevation clear. The wide-lot orientation and 10:12 roof pitch (31 ft 2 in total height) create a substantial, farmhouse-inspired profile.
