Carter 3 is a two-story Craftsman house plan encompassing 1,554 square feet of heated living area, optimized for a footprint of 49 feet 10 inches in width and 44 feet in depth. The exterior profile is characterized by a 12:12 roof pitch and a 208-square-foot covered front porch, establishing a vertical scale that reaches a maximum building height of 23 feet 9 inches.
The main level provides 936 square feet of living space, featuring 9-foot ceilings that enhance the volume of the open-concept core. This level houses the primary bedroom suite, separating the sleeping quarters from the secondary bedrooms located on the upper floor. The kitchen and living areas occupy a shared zone, facilitating direct movement and lines of sight throughout the primary floor.
The second floor offers 618 square feet of finished space, including two additional bedrooms and access to a 305-square-foot unfinished rec room. With 8-foot ceiling heights, this upper level serves as a flexible area that can be configured as a home office, media room, or guest retreat based on changing requirements.
Structural integrity is provided through stick framing, supporting the steep roofline and efficient interior layout. The design includes a 506-square-foot 2-car garage with a 16-foot by 9-foot door, providing secure vehicle storage while minimizing the impact on the total lot coverage. The layout is engineered to maximize utility within a compact 1,554 square foot footprint, ensuring each zone is scaled for efficiency.
