This classic two-story features a large porch defined by gracious columns as you enter the home. At just over 1,500 square feet, each room has been carefully designed to make maximum use of all space. The kitchen features a center island that flows into the dining room where patio doors lead you out to the back yard. To the left of the entry, a spacious great room with fireplace blends into the dining area to create a spacious feel in the home. Three bedrooms lie on the second floor and include a master suite with walk-in closet, dual sinks and easy access to a second floor laundry. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath off the hallway. Finally, a two-stall garage completes this home.

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.

Learn more about Cost to Build reports here.

Can I trust Houseplans?

Founded in 2004, Houseplans works with hundreds of architects and designers to offer their plans at a fraction of the price of custom design. Houseplans has an "Excellent" rating on TrustPilot.
