Spanning 1,838 sq ft of heated living space, the Contemporary Mountain House Plan is a masterclass in site-sensitive design, specifically engineered for sloped or challenging topography. With a width of 54 ft and a depth of 46 ft, this one-story residence leverages a walkout basement foundation to maximize square footage without compromising its compact footprint. The exterior is defined by a low 2:12 roof pitch, which minimizes the vertical profile to preserve views while emphasizing modern, clean lines.
The interior layout prioritizes an open-concept core, where the kitchen, dining area, and family room share a unified, airy volume. A central kitchen island with an integrated eating bar serves as the primary gathering point, supported by a dedicated walk-in pantry for organized storage. The family room acts as a central anchor, featuring a fireplace that provides warmth and focus to the living area. This space transitions directly onto an expansive 622 sq ft rear deck, effectively doubling the social area during warmer months.
Privacy is maintained through a split-bedroom arrangement that separates the primary suite from two secondary bedrooms. The primary suite occupies a quiet corner of the main level, featuring a walk-in closet and a private bathroom with dual vanities. Both secondary bedrooms are positioned for convenient access to a shared full bathroom, ensuring the 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration remains practical for both family living and guest use.
The 1,838 sq ft unfinished walkout basement provides substantial flexibility for future expansion. With 9-foot ceilings on both the main floor and lower level, the home maintains a consistent sense of volume throughout. A 462 sq ft rear patio provides a secondary outdoor living zone, creating a tiered exterior environment that complements the upper deck and integrates the structure into the natural landscape.
Built with 2x6 wall framing for enhanced structural integrity, this design includes essential utility spaces such as a mud room and a dedicated laundry room. The 16 ft 8 in maximum building height ensures the home maintains a low profile, making it a suitable choice for scenic settings that demand architectural harmony.
