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 a first-floor master suite with ensuite bath and walk-in closet for main-level living
  • Entertain frequently and love covered outdoor spaces (covered porches, screened sunroom, deck, and outdoor fireplace)
  • Work from home and need a dedicated bonus room on the upper level
  • Prefer an open floor plan with high ceilings and abundant natural light (10-foot ceilings throughout)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 5+ bedrooms — this plan offers 3-4 total, with only the main floor master finished on day one
  • Want a single-level layout — bedrooms and bonus room are upstairs, requiring stairs
  • Working with a narrow lot under 70 feet wide — this design needs 70-79 feet of width

About this plan

Main Floor Master Suite & Outdoor Living

This Craftsman lake house plan offers 2,482 sq ft across two stories with a flexible 3-4 bedroom layout. The open-concept great room and gourmet island kitchen create an inviting social hub, while 10-foot ceilings enhance the sense of scale throughout the interior. A first-floor master suite provides a private retreat with walk-in closet and double vanity bath, ideal for owners prioritizing main-level convenience.

Outdoor living is a defining feature: covered front and rear porches, a deck, screened sunroom, and integrated outdoor fireplace offer year-round entertaining spaces. The upper level includes a versatile bonus room perfect for a home office, media room, or guest bedroom. A two-car side-load garage and basement foundation complete this functional design.
