TOP-SELLING HOUSE PLAN OF 2016

For the seventh year in a row, this house plan
(HWBDO69293) dominated the sales charts
for Builder House Plans and its sister sites.
What accounts for its enduring success?
First, consider the home’s flexibility. The
main floor provides a modest 2 , 091 square
feet, but a bonus room upstairs allows for later
expansion, as does an optional walkout base-
ment foundation with room for a media room,
guest quarters, and more. With all of these
opportunities for customization, the design
easily flexes to fit the needs of homeowners in
a wide range of regions and life stages.
Second, one might call the approach to
amenities “dressy casual.” The basic layout
presents a simple, open floor plan but offers
a variety of special touches: a two-sided fire-
place provides a fun focal point in both the

family and dining rooms, and a sitting nook

with windows on three sides creates a mem-

orable reading spot in the master suite. Eas-

ily accessed from the main living areas,

another fireplace warms up the impressive

lanai/barbecue porch for multiseason out-

door entertaining. As a practical touch, walk-

in closets offer ample storage in the owner’s

suite and one of the bedrooms.

But perhaps the most important factor to

this plan’s resonance with buyers (and the

reason for its ubiquity across social media)

remains its appealing rugged exterior. Paired

porch columns and exposed trusses frame

the entryway, while the angled garage sits

discreetly to the side.
