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…
  • Working with a narrow lot — the design is just 39 feet wide
  • Want a compact two-story layout (1,500 sq ft across two floors)
  • Prefer laundry on the second floor near bedrooms (second floor laundry)
  • Like charming farmhouse style with classic curb appeal (front porch and country aesthetics)
  • Need a mudroom for organized entry (mudroom with storage)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms — this plan has 3
  • Want a single-story layout — this is two stories with stairs
  • Have a wide lot and want a sprawling footprint — this plan is up to 39 feet wide
  • Need a master suite on the main floor — the master is on the second floor
  • Want 4,000+ sq ft — this plan is 1,500 sq ft

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Charming Two-Story Farmhouse with Welcoming Front Porch

This two-story farmhouse home plan offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 1 half-bath in 1,500 square feet. The welcoming front porch creates an inviting entry, while the mudroom provides practical storage and a transition to daily living. Second-floor laundry keeps utility spaces close to the bedrooms.

Measuring up to 39 feet wide and 50–59 feet deep, the plan fits on narrow lots while maintaining efficient use of space. The 2-car garage supports most households. With the second-floor master suite and three total bedrooms, this layout suits young families, first-time builders, or downsizers who value charm and efficiency over square footage.
