The Ned house plan is a New American carriage-style structure offering 1,807 square feet of heated living space. Designed with a 44-foot width and 31-foot 8-inch depth, this two-story home prioritizes a compact footprint while maximizing interior utility through a specialized multi-level layout. The exterior features a high-pitch roofline consisting of 8:12, 10:12, and 12:12 pitches, reaching a maximum height of 28 feet 6 inches.
The first floor encompasses 583 square feet, serving as the primary utility and support zone. This level includes a 670-square-foot, 2-car garage with side entry, which minimizes street-side visual impact. Beyond the garage, the entry foyer provides direct access to a dedicated home office enclosed by French doors. A large fitness room occupies the remainder of the ground floor, featuring an overhead door that allows for direct access to a rear patio, facilitating cross-ventilation and movement between interior and exterior spaces.
Ascending to the 1,224-square-foot second level, the design transitions into an open-concept living core. The kitchen, dining, and living areas are unified in a single volume, surrounded by windows on every wall to maximize natural light penetration. The kitchen is anchored by a central island with an integrated eating bar. This floor also houses two bedrooms, which share access to a full bathroom equipped with a linen closet, alongside a conveniently placed hallway laundry closet.
Structural efficiency is achieved through a 10-foot ceiling height on the first floor and 8-foot ceilings on the second level, creating a distinct spatial hierarchy between the active ground-level zones and the private living quarters above. The design utilizes a durable roof framing system suited for the varied roof pitches, ensuring a robust vertical profile that complements the modern New American aesthetic.
