One-level living, thoughtful design, and an open floor plan make this home a dream for families. A front courtyard invites you to unwind and enjoy your neighborhood, and the front porch welcomes you in.
The main level of this home features three bedrooms – perfect for family, hosting guests, or to turn into office or hobby spaces as you choose. The primary suite is tucked away to the rear of the home for privacy and includes a generously sized closet and a luxurious walk-in shower. Access to the rear covered deck beckons you to sip your morning coffee outside, or enjoy a glass of wine in the evening as the stars come out.
The ample great room features raised coffered ceilings and a corner fireplace, lending this home an effortless elegance. The kitchen is open to the living and dining areas and includes an oversized island as a centerpiece of the home. The dining room looks out to views to the rear and right of your site, and the covered deck lets you take your meals outside and entertain with ease and flexibility.
A powder room sits right off the entry for guests, while the primary suite and second bedroom enjoy en suite baths. A mudroom with cubbies and full laundry greets you from the garage, giving you a prep area and drop zone at the beginning and end of your day. The oversized garage includes space for two cars plus a golf cart or workshop area.
This house plan includes an optional lower level, which expands the home to include a large rec room, a game room, a bar, a full bathroom, and three additional bedrooms with walk-in closets.

What's the difference between Digital PDF and CAD files?
The right plan format for you depends on your situation and how much versatility you may need.
Digital PDFs are suitable for many uses if you don’t have major site or plan changes. These files are not directly editable, meaning that changes may be more difficult to make, though some minor adjustments may be made via redline by your local professionals.
When you add the CAD (Computer-Aided Design) files option to your plan purchase, you’ll receive the Digital PDF Plan Set plus the CAD files of each plan sheet (.dwg format) that allow for further customization and options.
CAD files are digital files that contain detailed and accurate technical drawings and specifications of a design. CAD files are commonly used by building and design professionals to create and modify house plans, and this allows you much more flexibility in making sure your home design meets your needs and works best for your site.

Can I make changes to my house plan?
Absolutely! A great option for most clients is to purchase the plan you love and work with a local designer to make the changes and customizations you need. Your local professionals will be most familiar with your building codes and site-specific requirements, and they can help prepare everything you need to obtain a building permit along with the plan customizations you’d like. They will typically need or prefer the CAD version of the plan to do their work most efficiently.
If all you need are minor changes – like flipping / mirroring the plan to create a right-reading reverse plan – we can do those for you at a flat rate in just a few days. We’re happy to provide a quote for any complex changes you’d like to make as well – such as increasing or decreasing the square footage, designing a basement, changing the ceiling heights or even changing the architectural style. These types of customizations take more time and consultation, and can range in cost. We offer customization services through our founding company, the Colorado-based custom home design firm, LGA Studios. Click here to learn more.
What else do I need before I can build with my house plan?
To get a full understanding of what’s required in your area, we recommend visiting your local building department either in person or via their website. They will often have resources, recommendations, and a checklist of everything you need in order to submit for a building permit before breaking ground on your site.
Below are a few common items you may need:
- A Site Plan: A site plan is a drawing that shows where the house is going to be located on your property and depicts the driveway / access and any grading and water management / septic requirements.
- Site-Specific Engineering: Because local regulations and site variations differ widely, we do not offer “pre-engineered” plans, and you’ll need to obtain a site-specific engineering analysis from a licensed professional in the state where the home will be built.
Some areas of the country have especially strict engineering codes – with good reason – such as hurricane-risk zones along the Gulf Coast or earthquake-prone areas of California. These areas may require Geological or Seismic Engineering and the addition of retaining walls or wall bracing. Your builder or building department can provide references to trusted professionals in your area. - Local Code Compliance: Our home plans meet the International Residential Code (IRC) in effect when the plan was designed. The IRC is the base code typically adopted by all states, though states will often add their own adjustments on top of the base code due to state-specific geographical conditions.
Some areas have specific energy codes that have to be followed, and may require Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) plans, along with local code updates. It is your responsibility to comply with all local building codes, zoning requirements, and other applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, and conditions set forth by your planning commission. - A Professional “Stamp”: Several states – including California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and Nevada – require that your home design and entire set of construction drawings be reviewed and stamped by a local professional, such as a structural engineer or architect. Your local building department will let you know if this is required in your state.
