COMPACT AND AFFORDABLE CONTEMPORARY This charming contemporary is efficient, affordable and contained within a small footprint. The bedroom wings have low pitched roofs that eliminate attic space and cost by allowing the rafters to also serve as ceiling joist. The exterior contemporary styling is a blend of vertical siding and cultured stone with accents of stucco. Large expanses of glass provide plenty of natural lighting to the interior spaces as well as natural ventilation when desired. A planter and arbor flanks the front entry porch providing interesting detail to the front. Upon entering the foyer, a glass shelf display provides a place to display favorite photos or other family treasures. The living spaces are very open and airy sporting a cathedral ceiling in the living room area. The foyer and dining have raised ceilings to add even greater intrigue. The kitchen features a built-in desk and a raised eating bar which allows the chef of the house to serve guest with ease and without missing any activity going on in the living room. A conveniently located glass door provides easy access to the oversized rear porch which is perfect for outdoor entertaining. The nearby more formal dining is great for special dinners or as a spill over dining area when entertaining larger crowds. The utility room is only a step away from the kitchen and the primary suite. The adjacent mechanical closet is easily accessible from the utility room or the hallway. The large primary suite features a sloped beamed ceiling and a window wall for expansive views. The primary bath has an extended vanity with dual lavatories, a large shower with a built-in seat, linen closet, private toilet compartment and an absolute huge his and her walk-in closet. Skip to the opposite end of the house and there are two moderate size bedrooms, both featuring sloped beamed ceilings, private bath access and a super size walk-in closet. Amazingly, all of these larger home features are housed in a very modest 1400 square feet of space. Compare the room sizes to other homes of this size and one will immediately recognize the spaces are larger which is made possible by the elimination of hall space. This home plan is offered with an optional detached garage plan.

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.
