The Riverside Retreat is a 1,500 sq ft Craftsman-style residence designed for lots requiring a 49'11" width and 50' depth. This plan features an 8:12 roof pitch, complemented by 12:12 and 3:12 accents, which contribute to a total building height of 21'6". The exterior is characterized by a 121 sq ft covered front porch that provides a clear transition into the primary living zones.
The main level utilizes an open-concept core centered on a vaulted great room, which works in tandem with 9-foot ceilings to enhance the perceived volume of the interior. The kitchen includes an island with integrated eating bar and a walk-in pantry, providing direct sightlines into the central living area. A split-bedroom layout separates the primary suite from the secondary bedroom, ensuring acoustic privacy. The primary suite is equipped with a double-vanity bath and a walk-in closet, while a dedicated laundry zone is positioned for efficiency.
A 1,500 sq ft walkout basement provides significant expansion potential, matching the footprint of the main floor and offering 9-foot ceiling heights. This level allows for direct access to the exterior, supporting a connection to rear outdoor spaces. The inclusion of a large deck and a covered back porch extends the usable square footage beyond the 1,500 sq ft of primary heated living area.
Constructed to balance durability with architectural detail, the Riverside Retreat incorporates traditional gable rooflines and structural efficiency. The basement level is designed for future build-out, allowing for additional bedrooms, recreation space, or specialized hobby zones while maintaining the structural integrity of the home. The design is optimized for scenic properties where the walkout basement can be utilized to maximize sloping terrain.
