This beautiful coastal cottage welcomes you with its semi-circle courtyard and elevated front porch. A columned front porch captures coastal breezes. Double glass doors open to the foyer, while taking in views of the spacious living area. A 12-foot wall of glass pocketing sliders open up the beautiful covered lanai. This makes for a perfect indoor/outdoor entertainment zone. The dining room also opens to the lanai and is convenient to the kitchen and powder bath just beyond the stairs. The gourmet kitchen has a large eat-at-island for quick meals and a corner pantry. Just around the corner is the laundry with barn door entry and stacked washer/dryer. Two guest suites flank the front entrance, each with its own private bath. The owner’s suite is secluded to the entire upstairs. A vaulted ceiling adds drama to the spacious bedroom with beautiful views from the triple-set of rear windows. The roomy his and hers walk-in closets precede the spacious bath. A free standing spa tub takes center stage upon entering the owner’s bath. Dual sink vanities, a walk-in shower and private privy complete the elevated experience. The lower level provides two garage doors and plenty of storage for tandem parking and recreation vehicles. The outdoor kitchen is tucked into the lower lanai corner closest to the stairs.

What's Included

Plans are typically drawn to ¼” scale, or smaller for larger homes (3/16" scale to fit on 30 x 42 sheets), and include:
  • Cover Sheet: The cover sheet contains an index of the sheets that will follow in the design development set of plans. It will also include a gray scale elevation or rendering depicting the look of the front of the home, and overall roof plan.
  • Foundation Plan(s): This sheet shows the home’s foundation layout depicting plumbing, footing, support walls, columns, etc., calling out the necessary notes, dimensions and details.
  • Floor Plan(s): Shows a detailed layout of the floor plans with dimensions, notes, call outs and keys relating to sheets with sections and details needed by your builder for construction. These plans will include window and door sizes and locations, and will also show the location of bathroom fixtures.
  • Exterior Elevations: This sheet depicts elevations for all sides of the home, showing dimensions and material notes and exterior detailing where needed.
  • Interior Elevations: This sheet shows conceptual interior wall elevations for the kitchen, bathrooms, utility room as well as built-ins, fireplaces and other unique interior features as per design
  • Overhead Roof Plan(s): The Roof Plan sheet is a general layout of the home’s roof. It is meant as general information for the truss manufacturer and framing contractor. This sheet also contains the location and size of the dropped soffits housing the forced-air chases.
  • Cross Section(s): The Cross Section sheet depicts a section through the home revealing floor, ceiling and roof heights at a strategic location.
  • Electrical Plan(s): The Electrical Plan sheet shows suggested wiring and location of fixtures (lighting, ceiling fans, etc.), switches and outlets. This plan does not contain diagrams detailing how all wiring should be run, or how circuits should be engineered. Your electrician should work out these details.
  • Construction Notes / Detail(s): Shows basic parts and assemblies recommended for the home so the builder can see how things come together.
  • Framing Detail(s): The Second Floor Framing sheet shows important locations of beams and load-bearing conditions, as well as the floor truss spacing and direction. The Second Floor Framing Plan is meant as general information for the truss manufacturer. If included, the framing layout is intended to be a suggested layout only. Design loads and weather conditions vary by region. As a result the size, spacing, and layout of all structural elements in this home design may need approval by a structural engineer or code official based on your specific site location.
  • Wall Section(s): The Wall Section sheet depicts one or more sections of the home’s exterior walls from the foundation to the roof, calling out all materials and construction specifics.
Also included:

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.

Can I trust Houseplans?
