Over 3,100 square feet of single-story living, with the garage as its own building
An open-concept great room, a private guest suite, and a butler’s pantry inside — a detached 1,852 sq ft garage, breezeway, and an outdoor-kitchen patio outside.
An open-concept great room, a private guest suite, and a butler’s pantry inside — a detached 1,852 sq ft garage, breezeway, and an outdoor-kitchen patio outside.
The Robert (plan BP-2001-R) spreads 3,194 heated square feet across one level — four bedrooms, three full baths and two powder rooms, an open great room, a dedicated guest suite, and a butler’s pantry off the kitchen. The 1,852 sq ft garage stands as its own detached structure, linked to the house by a covered breezeway, and the outdoor program is unusually complete: 1,065 sq ft of front and rear porches plus an 820 sq ft patio designed around an outdoor kitchen. Stick-frame construction on a concrete slab, 10-foot ceilings, and a 129-foot-wide footprint give the plan its estate presence.
The Robert is really three builds on one site: the main house, a detached garage with its own slab and shell, and a serious outdoor program. Each is priced on its own terms in a cost report — which is exactly what a budget for this plan needs, because averaging them into one number hides where the money actually goes.

Unlike an attached bay, the Robert’s garage carries its own slab, four walls, and roof — plus the breezeway that connects it. Detached structures are itemized separately in a cost report, and they are the first place bids on this plan diverge.
Nearly 1,900 sq ft of porches and patio — including an outdoor kitchen — are real construction with footings, framing, roof, and utilities. Outdoor kitchens in particular swing widely with appliance and finish choices.
One level means every square foot sits on foundation and under roof. At 129 feet wide, the Robert maximizes that effect — and wants a generous lot — so foundation and roofing carry a larger share of the budget than a two-story plan of equal size.
The butler’s pantry, guest suite bath, and the open kitchen are where Good-to-Custom selections move the number most; the big simple great-room volume is comparatively steady across tiers.
