Plan 009-00294 packs a lot of livability into one level: 2,102 heated square feet arranged around an open-concept core, with a kitchen island and walk-in pantry anchoring the main living space. Three bedrooms are standard, and a flex room converts to a fourth bedroom or home office as your household needs change. The primary suite carries a walk-in closet, vaulted ceilings lift the common areas, and a covered porch extends the living space outdoors. A 2-car garage (expandable to 3-car) rounds out the 63' x 60'-10" footprint.
Plan 009-00294 earns its character through items that don't show up in a price-per-square-foot rule of thumb — vaulted common areas, the flex-room option, and the garage-expansion choice all move the budget. The same plan can cost very differently depending on where it's built.
