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…
  • Building on a tight or narrow lot—the design fits within 39 feet of width
  • Planning multigenerational housing or need a separate in-law suite for aging parents (optional 1-bed ADU)
  • Want a loft space for extra bedrooms or flex room without finishing extra square footage (loft framed for expansion)
  • Need a compact two-story home with an upstairs master suite (second-floor master with 3 beds, 2 baths)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a single-story layout to avoid stairs—this plan is two stories
  • Want all bedrooms and living on the main floor—bedrooms are split between floors
  • Building on a very deep lot; the design is shallow (40–49 feet deep)

About this plan

Modern Gable Roof Garage with Optional In-Law Suite

This two-story carriage garage plan delivers flexible living in a compact 39-foot-wide footprint, ideal for properties where space is at a premium. The main structure includes 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom across two stories, with a second-floor master suite.

The standout feature is the optional 1-bedroom in-law suite, configured as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) that can attach to the garage structure. This makes the plan exceptionally flexible for multigenerational living, aging parents, or rental income potential. The carriage and farmhouse styling integrates seamlessly into rural and suburban settings alike. Built on a crawl space foundation, the plan maximizes livable area within a narrow lot profile.

  • Exterior elevations (all sides)
  • Detailed floor plan(s) with dimensions
  • Foundation plan
  • Roof plan
  • Schematic electrical layout
