At less than 1,800 square feet, this family-friendly, traditional-style, 2-story house plan offers practical room arrangements and an abundance of additional space. The front of the home radiates a sense of solid, established warmth with brick details, roof dormers and a covered front porch.Inside, the entry hall opens to a comfortable family room with fireplace and generous views to the rear. The open arrangement between the family room, breakfast area and kitchen creates an inviting atmosphere for entertaining guests or just hanging out with the family. Adjacent to the kitchen, a formal dining room -- with an optional expanded design -- stands ready to host memorable meals.Upstairs, the master suite includes a bath with walk-in closet, corner tub, his and her vanities and a compartmented toilet. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a hall bath that lies just across from the laundry. An unfinished area above the garage offers an extra 432 sq. ft. of space with unlimited uses -- storage, studio, hobbies/crafts, playroom, etc.

FAQs

Are designs on Houseplans ready to submit to my building department for permitting?

It depends on where you're building. Our plans contain enough information for a professional builder to construct your home, but your local government may require additional information before permitting. We strongly advise that you talk with your builder before you get started. If you are building for yourself, we recommend visiting your local building department to start your diligence. Read more here.

Can I make changes to a plan?

Absolutely! Our modification service allows you to customize almost anything - whether it's adding an extra garage bay, adjusting square footage, changing the roof pitch, or more, the plan modification service is a great value and can be completed quickly. Additionally, if you purchase an electronic plan set (PDF or CAD), you may have the option to make changes locally. CAD files offer the most flexibility for custom edits. Just let us know what you're thinking, and we’ll provide an estimate and timeframe to get started. Learn more here.

How much does a house cost to build?

Find out! Build costs vary based on the size of the home, materials used, and local rates for goods and labor. Our Cost to Build report is a great way to get some basic costs dialed in before you order your plans. Just plug in your postal code, select your desired construction quality, and we'll calculate for you.
