Fairhope is a 1,939 sq ft two-story house plan that maximizes its 44'4" width and 56'8" depth to deliver a highly efficient footprint. Designed with a 28'4" maximum building height, this residence features a classic roofline with 6:12 and 4:12 pitches, complemented by a 2-car front-facing garage (505 sq ft) that provides direct internal access. The exterior is defined by a 129 sq ft front porch and a 206 sq ft rear porch, establishing a clear connection between the interior living zones and the surrounding property.
The 1,414 sq ft main level is engineered for daily utility, anchored by a 10-foot ceiling height that enhances the scale of the open-concept core. The kitchen includes a central island and a walk-in pantry, maintaining sightlines into the family room where a fireplace acts as a focal point. A first-floor primary suite provides single-level accessibility, supported by an adjacent laundry room and a dedicated mud room to manage high-traffic transitions. A half-bathroom is strategically placed to serve the main social areas.
Occupying 525 sq ft, the second floor houses two secondary bedrooms and a versatile loft space that opens onto a private balcony. This upper-level configuration is suited for a home office, media retreat, or study area, with 8-foot ceiling heights that maintain a comfortable, intimate scale. The addition of attic storage provides supplementary utility, ensuring that the total living area is supported by practical, non-heated storage zones.
Constructed with stick-framed roof assemblies, this design prioritizes structural clarity and long-term durability. The layout integrates 335 sq ft of total porch area and a 100 sq ft deck, emphasizing the use of outdoor space as an extension of the primary living environment. The primary suite's separation from the secondary bedrooms on the upper level ensures acoustic privacy, while the central location of the kitchen and dining areas promotes efficient circulation.
