The exterior makes an unforgettable first impression with perfect symmetry, crisp vertical siding, a striking metal roof, and elegant French doors centered beneath a welcoming covered front porch. Around the back, generous covered and uncovered porches create multiple outdoor destinations for relaxing, dining, grilling, or simply enjoying the view in every season.

Decorative ceiling beams, rustic brick accents, built-in cabinetry, and a cozy fireplace give the spacious great room warmth and personality. The great room flows naturally into the dining area and kitchen, creating an inviting atmosphere where family gatherings and entertaining come together with ease.

Construction Cost Estimates That Save You Time and Money.
With your 30-day online cost-to-build estimate you can start enjoying these benefits today.
Home-Cost.com’s INSTANT™ Cost-To-Build Report also provides you these added features and capabilities:
A: The CAD files can be saved back to version 2000 for compatibility. Just make sure to note that information when ordering the plans. Framing plans are not included since these are based on site specific load information (snow, wind, etc.).
A: 9' X 8' and 18' X 8'
A: No...the CAD files that are available are only in 2D format. They are .DWG files compatible with 2004 and later versions of AutoCAD.
A: All of our CAD files are saved to AutoCAD .dwg format in 2004 Release so that older software can open them.
A: Generally, the lowest wall height will be approximately 5' tall.

View Attached FileA: The photos shown on the website are the only images available at this time. See plan 56700 which has a similar floorplan for interior pictures.

A: There are no photos of this exact plan, but you can view photos from a similar layout on plan 56700. Thank!
A: The house plan is not designed specifically for handicapped accessibility. There would likely need to be modifications made by your builder to accommodate for this. The hallways are a minimum of 3'-6" wide and doors into bedrooms are a minimum of 32". The main bathroom doors are also 32". There are other varying door sizes throughout the house.
A: This would likely require modifications to the plans. If you have a very experienced builder/framer, they may be able to modify on site, but the exterior walls and roof framing points would need to be raised on the areas of the plan with 9' ceilings. Click the "Modifications" link to inquire about a price and timeframe if you are interested in having the plans reflect the change.
A: We do not have photos of this exact plan, but you can see interior photos of plan 56700 which is a very similar design.

A: Yes....for slab/crawlspace version only. Options such as basement, 2x6, reverse, etc. will not be reflected. Also, due to unknown site conditions, the foundation materials will not be included. The materials list will be added to the pricing for $195. Please call to order this option.
