  • The wide open floor plan of this luxury home plan is great for those looking for flexible living and lots of room. With its cottage accents, it offers great curb appeal and can be the first or last house you will ever build.
  • Decorative pillars adorn the covered porch and combined with wood ceiling beams create a great first impression.
  • Enjoy views extending throught the home from the foyer and the open feel as the great room, casual dining and the large gourmet kitchen flow from one to the other. The butler's pantry and kitchen are in close proximity to the dining room, for ease in serving.
  • Situated for privacy, the elegant master bedroom has direct access to the patio and views out back. The master bathroom has a shower and separate soaking tub, his and hers vanities, and floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinets. Long walls in the closet give you ample hanging room and an optional exercise space or room for a packing island.
  • Two additional bedrooms make this perfect for children, in-laws, and guests.
  • The jumbo laundry room with a sink and folding area is a nice touch.
  • Stairs lead to an optional mini-apartment for in-laws, teenagers, or boomarang children.

  • First Floor Plan - This page is drawn to 1/4”=1’-0” scale and includes exterior dimensions to build the home.  The notes are precise directions for your builder.  Important features such as built-ins, niches, and appliances are noted.  Doors and windows are identified and specific sizing can be found on window and door schedules. Conventional framing.
  • Second Floor Plan - The second floor includes stair details.  Often the reflective roof detail is shown legibly over the second floor plan.  This is helpful for the framing contractor.
  • Lighting and Electrical - On this sheet you have a schematic of the lights, electrical plugs, phone location, and code items such as smoke detectors.  It is common place to build with your builder and/or electrician before the work starts to review this plan.  Careful planning can make your home special and convenient for your family.
  • Second Floor Lighting - The same details as provided for the first floor.
  • Front and Rear Elevations - The front and rear elevations may be on separate pages depending on the size of the house.  This page comes with exterior dimensions and notes required to complete construction.  This is where the windows, doors, and interior trim details are illustrated, as well as wall heights, roof pitches and ridge heights.
  • Right and Left Elevations - The right and left elevations provide the same details as the front and rear elevations.

  • Cross-Sections - Sections are used to further describe any architectural intent necessary for the builder or framer. This drawing will illustrate important changes in the floor, ceiling, and roof heights.
  • Cabinet Elevations - Cabinet elevations are provided with your plans, and like the electrical plan, they are mainly a guide for estimating purposes.  Cabinets are an area that is easy to customize and your builder or cabinet maker will work with you early on in the process to ensure that the correct cabinets are specified.  After framing and sheet rock installation sizes of walls may change slightly.  The cabinet maker must take as built measurements to properly size your cabinets. **NOTE: Most house plans will contain interior/cabinet elevations, however not all plans will. Please inquire prior to purchase.
