Homes for Today/Garages

Plan #5216 -- Two story updated Colonial Carriage house with three car bays on the first floor.

Design #5216 offers multiple possibilities: a vacation house, a retirement house, an expandable house using the first floor as an additional apartment for renting purposes, or a starter house built in the rear of the property and later rented for income after the mainhouse is built. The garage doors are adorned with old-fashioned iron strap hinges and the carriage lamp sconces add a Dutch Colonial flavor to the overall design. On the second floor there are four dormers with circle-top glass windows that are set into a gambrel roof topped with a cupola. The second floor layout offers an eat-in kitchen which is located at the top of the stairs. The living-dining area sits at the front of the plan with an adjoining den that can be used as a second bedroom. A master bedroom with a full bath completes the plan. The overall dimensions are 36'-0" by 23'-4" and the height is 22' to the main ridge. Square footage for each floor is 840.00'. There is no cellar.
