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 single-story layout with everything on one floor—no stairs to navigate (one-story ranch)
  • Planning to age in place with master suite, laundry, and living all on the main floor
  • Looking for outdoor entertaining space with covered porches and a veranda (covered front porch, two-story veranda)
  • Need a home office or study built into the main living area (home office/study with fireplace)
  • Work with a moderate lot size around 70–80 ft wide by 50–60 ft deep
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms—this plan has 3
  • Want a two-story design to maximize compact lot space (single-story footprint)
  • Need a main-floor laundry and don't want stairs (all living on one floor means no second-floor option)
  • Looking for a basement or crawl-space foundation (slab-only foundation)
  • Want a 3+ car garage (two-car side-load only)

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

One-Story Cape Cod with First-Floor Master

The Waterford Place is a 2,000 sq ft Cape Cod house plan that combines classical elegance with single-story convenience. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home sits on a slab foundation with a two-car side-load garage, making it an excellent choice for buyers seeking a relaxed suburban or private development setting.

The foyer opens to a formal dining room and a home office with a fireplace, flowing into a grand room with a circular design ideal for gatherings. The gourmet kitchen features a central island and eating bar that overlooks the keeping room and casual dining zones. The first-floor master suite includes a private sitting area and veranda access, while two secondary bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Additional highlights include a covered front porch, side porch, and a spacious rear veranda for outdoor living.
