Carter 2 is a two-story home spanning 1,497 sq ft of total heated living area, designed to maximize efficiency within a 49-foot wide by 42-foot deep footprint. The exterior is defined by a 156 sq ft covered front porch that transitions into a compact, well-organized floor plan. With a steep 12:12 roof pitch and a maximum building height of 22 ft 11 in, the structure presents a classic silhouette suitable for a variety of lot types.
The main level encompasses 936 sq ft, anchored by a central kitchen island and a vaulted-ceiling keeping room that creates a sense of vertical volume. This level features a private master suite, ensuring separation from the secondary living zones. A 506 sq ft 2-car front-load garage is integrated into the ground floor, providing utility without sacrificing the primary living square footage on the main level.
Occupying 561 sq ft, the second floor contains two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, addressing the needs for guest quarters or focused work-from-home space. A 305 sq ft bonus room provides further expansion potential, allowing for a media retreat or hobby space. Both the first and second floors utilize 8-foot ceiling heights to maintain a consistent interior scale throughout the home.
Constructed with 2x4 framing and stick-built methods, this plan prioritizes structural durability and traditional building practices. The layout optimizes the 1,497 sq ft of living space by clustering service areas, such as the laundry room, near the garage entry to maintain a clean circulation path through the heart of the home.
