Cape Cod house plans

The term, Cape Cod house plans, is also often used to describe an exterior style, in this case, a house plan style familiar on Cape Cod, MA. Such cape Cod house plans are typically simple structures with a balanced facade and almost always clad in real or simulated wood shingles. Many Cape Cod house plans are also expandable, in that they allow the owner to leave all or part of the second floor unfinished until needed.

Colonial house plans

Colonial house plans are almost always two story house plans and can vary from the more formal, balanced, colonial facades to the informal Early American style. Although front porches are common to many colonial house plans, certain styles, such as Georgian or Federal, do not have front porches. Adding details like small casement leaded glass windows, rustic wood ceiling beams or a large central, stone fireplace can embellish the colonial feel of a modern floor plan..

Bonus Room House Plans

Today's homeowners constantly seem to be looking for more space, and bonus rooms provide it. The best thing about a bonus room is that it can be finished when you build your home or at any time your budget allows. Bonus rooms are often over a garage since they can be easily and inexpensively designed into the trusses, but really can be anywhere on any floor of the house. The additional space is nice to have for an office, playroom, home gym or extra bedroom. Be sure your bonus room has as many energy-efficiency features as possible, including sufficient ceiling insulation and well sealed double-glazed windows. Take a look through our extensive collection of house plans with bonus rooms. Why buy plans from us?
