COOL Plan Description
Affordable 3 Bedroom House Plan 56712 with Open Floor Plan, Rear Porch and 2-Car Garage
House Plan 56712 packs a lot of livability into a smart 1,521-square-foot footprint. This Traditional home delivers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an attached 2-car garage, split-bedroom privacy, open-concept living, and a generous covered rear porch. For buyers looking to keep square footage under control without giving up the features that make everyday life comfortable, this is one choice little package.
The kitchen, dining area, and great room share one connected gathering space, giving the interior a larger and more social feel. Traffic moves easily between the rooms, and whoever is working in the kitchen can stay involved with family or guests. For households with younger children, those open sightlines are especially handy.
The kitchen makes excellent use of its space with abundant cabinets and countertops plus generous walkways around the island. An eating bar gives kids a spot for breakfast or homework and provides extra seating when friends stop by. It's an efficient setup that delivers plenty of function without wasting square footage.
The split-bedroom arrangement is another stellar feature. The primary suite occupies the right side of the home, comfortably separated from Bedrooms 2 and 3. A tray ceiling and barn door add personality, while the walk-in closet handles wardrobe storage. The private bathroom includes dual sinks, a shower, and an enclosed water closet.
Across the house, the two secondary bedrooms are equal in size—good news when two kids are deciding who gets the bigger room. Each has a standard closet, and both share the hall bathroom. Two linen closets tucked into the hallway provide extra built-in storage exactly where a busy household needs it.
Out back, an approximately 18'8" x 8' covered porch adds genuine outdoor living space without increasing the conditioned footprint. Set it up for grilling, dining, morning coffee, or an outdoor sitting area and the home suddenly lives larger than its 1,521 square feet suggest.
Plan 56712 combines an affordable-size footprint with three bedrooms, smart storage, open gathering spaces, a covered porch, and a 2-car garage. It's a boss example of getting more everyday function from a smaller home.

Previous Q & A
Previous Questions and Answers
A: Approximately 13'-6"
A: Closets - 2-4 x 6-4 Wall - approximately 6-6
A: Since this is a single family dwelling, it would fall under the jurisdiction of the International Residential Code and not the International Building Code. This particular plan conforms to the 2018 edition of the Residential Code.
A: Great Room is a double 2870 and bedroom is a double 2860.
A: The actual width will depend on what windows you select. The plans call for a double 2830 (2-8 wide x 3-0 tall). The total width will depend on the width of the mull that the manufacturer uses for a double window. If you need exact sizes, you will have to contact a window sales company and select a specific brand/style of window before they can give you a total width.
A: Great Room -2870 double Kitchen - 2830 double
A: The window sizes for each window will be provided on the construction documents. There are multiple different sizes, but each are labeled with the size on the floorplan that you receive with your order.
A: See below for the sheet index of included pages. The scale for the floorplan and elevations are 1/4" as long as they are printed on 24"x36" paper as "actual size".

A: You cannot add the room dimensions and come up with the total square footage. The room sizes given only represent the interior dimensions of each space, so the wall areas as well as spaces not labeled with dimensions would not be included in that scenario. The heated area is represented on the floor plan image by all areas shown in yellow. That space is the 1521. Unheated areas are shown in blue.
A: There is a materials list available for $195. It is only available for the original slab version of the plan. Any other options (2x6 walls, basement, etc.) will not be reflected.
A: Good Morning, This is a new plan and no one has purchased the walkout basement option yet. Therefore we do not have a rear elevation available. Our typical walkout elevation will mimic the door and window layout of the main floor on the basement level below. Also, please keep in mind that all of our basement options are UNFINISHED which means that there will not be a floorplan for the basement level. Thanks, Jason
A: Currently, there is 4' between each end of the island and the adjacent cabinets. That could be squeezed to 3-6 giving you another 12" in width on the island. Thanks,
Common Questions:
A: Yes you can! Please click the "Modifications" tab above to get more information.
A: The national average for a house is running right at $125.00 per SF. You can get more detailed information by clicking the Cost-To-Build tab above. Sorry, but we cannot give cost estimates for garage, multifamily or project plans.
