River Trace is a one-story Acadian house plan providing 1,900 square feet of heated living area. Designed for a lot width of 62 ft 6 in and a depth of 60 ft, the structure emphasizes a symmetrical footprint with a substantial 487 square feet of total porch space. The front elevation includes a 214 square foot covered porch, while the rear features a 273 square foot covered porch, creating a direct transition between interior and exterior zones.
The interior layout centers on an open living area featuring 9-foot ceilings and a brick accent wall, which maintains clear sightlines from the formal foyer and dining space. The kitchen is positioned to overlook the rear porch and includes a central island with an eating bar and a walk-in pantry. A split-bedroom configuration separates the primary suite from the two secondary bedrooms, ensuring privacy across the 1,900-square-foot main floor.
A 325-square-foot bonus room is located above the garage, providing flexible utility for a guest suite or media area with an 8-foot ceiling height. This secondary space increases the total usable footprint while remaining integrated into the primary roofline. The structure is designed with an 8:12 roof pitch and reaches a maximum building height of 25 ft 6 in, conforming to traditional Acadian architectural proportions.
Practicality is addressed through a 552-square-foot, 2-car garage and an additional 29 square feet of dedicated storage space. The foundation includes a 9-foot basement level, which offers significant structural elevation and utility. This plan maximizes horizontal circulation by grouping the mud room, pantry, and storage areas near the service entry points to maintain a clean aesthetic in the main social zones.
Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,900 sq ft, bonus room, split-bedroom layout, walk-in pantry, 2-car garage, 8:12 roof pitch, 9-foot main ceiling height, Acadian style.
