Cougar is a transitional ranch-style house plan offering 1,493 square feet of heated living space on the main level, complemented by a 1,470-square-foot finished basement. With a width of 63 feet and a depth of 43 feet, this design fits comfortably on moderate-sized lots while maximizing utility. The exterior features a 127-square-foot covered front porch that establishes a clear entry point and traditional curb appeal.
The main level is organized around an open-concept core that integrates a kitchen, central island, and walk-in pantry with a dedicated keeping room. This layout facilitates direct sightlines between the food preparation area and living zones. A first-floor master suite provides private quarters, while a cluster of additional bedrooms ensures efficient use of the main floor footprint. A formal dining room serves as a secondary social zone, maintaining a clear separation from the primary family areas.
The finished basement adds 1,470 square feet of conditioned space, including two secondary bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a large game room. This lower level provides flexible square footage for home offices, guest accommodations, or recreational use. Both the main level and the basement feature 9-foot ceilings, which contribute to a consistent sense of volume across the entire interior structure.
Technical specifications include 2x4 exterior wall framing, a basement foundation, and a 6:12 roof pitch utilizing truss roof construction. The total building height is 20 feet 3 inches, maintaining a low profile while accommodating two full levels of living space. These structural choices emphasize long-term durability and cost-effective construction methods for the residential site.
The home includes a 3-car front-load garage covering 820 square feet, providing significant storage and vehicle capacity. This configuration ensures that the garage does not impede the primary living layout, allowing for a clean separation between the driveway access and the interior circulation paths. The design prioritizes age-in-place features through its ranch-style layout and accessible main-floor primary bedroom.
