A farmhouse built for the road-trip life
Main-level living with a small upper loft, three covered outdoor spaces — and 1,456 sq ft of garage with extensive RV storage.
Main-level living with a small upper loft, three covered outdoor spaces — and 1,456 sq ft of garage with extensive RV storage.
The Topeka (Mascord plan 22237) is a 2,809 sq ft farmhouse that keeps daily life on the main level — 2,403 sq ft holding four bedrooms’ worth of living, a den that can serve as a fifth sleeping space, and a free-standing-tub primary bath — with a 406 sq ft loft above. The attached 1,456 sq ft, three-car garage is built around extensive RV storage. Outside, the plan carries three covered spaces: front porch, rear porch, and patio, under a steep 10-in-12 farmhouse roof across a 93-foot-wide footprint.
Two features give the Topeka its cost personality: the RV-depth garage wing, and the steep farmhouse roof. Both are visible from the curb and both are priced on their own terms — the garage by its slab and shell, the roof by its pitch-driven framing and surface area. A localized report separates them so you can see exactly what the farmhouse look costs where you build.

A 10:12 main pitch adds framing complexity, roof surface area, and labor versus a moderate pitch. It is what makes the Topeka read as a true farmhouse; budget for it deliberately rather than discovering it in bids.
At 1,456 sq ft with RV depth and door height, the garage wing carries long-span framing and tall walls — priced separately from living space, and the first line to compare across builders.
Keeping 85% of the plan on one level simplifies structure and systems; the 406 sq ft loft adds flexible space without a full second-story cost.
Front porch, rear porch, and patio are each itemized outdoor structures — modest individually, meaningful together.
