This house plan can be modified to fit your family’s lifestyle and your lot’s specifics.
Plan 89600R is a small house plan of 1210 ft², a compact family home drawn on a long, slender footprint 28'0" wide and 68'0" deep. The depth is well over twice the width, so the house develops from front to back rather than from side to side, and this elongated shape gives it a clear, calm outline. It is a home built to live in all year round, in the country or the suburbs, at a size that stays easy to look after.
A total of 1210 ft² suits a household that prefers well-used space to rooms that stand empty. A compact home like this one keeps daily life close together, from the first coffee of the morning to the quiet of a winter evening. The floor plan shows exactly how the rooms are arranged within this long shape, so the family can picture daily routines in the house before building begins.
The foundation can be chosen to match the way the family wants to build. The plan is available on request with a slab or a crawl space, and a house plan with a walkout basement is also an option for those who want an additional level below the main floor.
The exterior walls offer the same freedom of choice: wood 2x4 and wood 2x6 framing are both available on request. These options allow the foundation and the wall framing to be settled together with the builder, so the finished house answers the needs of the people who will live in it.
