Plans: Two-Story House Plans

Two-Story house plans and other multi-level home designs, such as home designs with lofts or a story and a half floor plan, are designed for cost efficiency while saving space. These home plans are represented by nearly every home plan style and range in size from a simple two bedroom, two bath vacation house to an extravagant luxury home with five or more bedrooms and baths. With a 2-story house plan, “building up” is the key, building one level on top of the other. Considerable square footage can be added to the upper level that might otherwise be restricted by lot size if building a home all on one level. Two-story designs are also easier on the building budget requiring less foundation and roofing materials than a sprawling ranch home plan of the same square footage. When privacy and extra space are considered, these house plans can be quite accommodating, especially with a lager family. Some multi-level house plans provide peace and quiet to all the bedrooms by positioning them on the second floor away from the living areas. In other cases, the master bedroom may seek privacy from the children’s rooms. In this instance, some 2-story home designs can satisfy this need by placing the master bedroom on the first floor and the secondary bedrooms upstairs. As a family grows, these home plans provide a solution to limited space. Many times, 2 story homes offer a bonus room on the second floor providing the perfect space for storage or a future room later. Sometimes, attic space is available with these designs as well, allowing for storage of seasonal items and family treasures. Many Two-Story house plans can be found in other home plan collections such as Craftsman home plans, Country designs and Colonial house plans.
