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 compact home under 1,800 sq ft with maximum openness (1,764 sq ft total with two-story grand room)
  • Love soaring ceilings and dramatic vertical space (two-story grand room)
  • Prefer a smaller footprint while maintaining livable square footage (930 sq ft + 834 sq ft split vertically)
  • Need a rear porch for outdoor relaxation and gathering
  • Appreciate European or Scandinavian design aesthetics
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms — this plan has 3 bedrooms only
  • Want a main-floor master suite — the master is on the second floor
  • Prefer a compact single-story layout to avoid stairs (this is a two-story design)
  • Need a 2+ car garage — this plan includes a 1-car garage only
  • Require 2+ full bathrooms on the main floor (only a half bath is available downstairs)

About this plan

Grand Room & Outdoor Living

This European or Scandinavian-inspired two-story home offers 1,764 sq ft of heated living space with a distinctive design that emphasizes openness and light. The first floor (930 sq ft) centers around a dramatic two-story grand room that creates an expansive, airy atmosphere perfect for family gatherings. The open-concept kitchen features an island for meal preparation and casual dining, while a mudroom provides practical separation between the garage and living areas. A rear porch extends outdoor relaxation and entertainment potential.

The second floor (834 sq ft) houses the master suite upstairs, offering privacy and separation from the two additional bedrooms. A conveniently located second-floor laundry room streamlines household tasks. Built on a slab foundation with sturdy 2x6 wall framing and an 8:12 roof pitch, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home balances charm with efficiency. The 1-car garage (370 sq ft) provides compact vehicle storage, making this plan ideal for those seeking an intimate yet open floor plan without excessive square footage.
