Anatomy of a best-selling plan

The Top-Seller

This plan design is a collaboration between me and Rich Kligman from Superb Homes in Northville, Mich. The goal was to take the best of the homes he has built in the past to come up with a top-seller. In order to do that, he wanted to create a design that will build Lean and efficiently, be flexible for changing families, and have a knockout exterior. This Lean-designed plan achieves all of the above and has brought in several early sales.

A. The kitchen is spacious and functional. A large island allows for seating and serving, providing a great spot to grab breakfast.

B. The large Costco pantry in the kitchen, combined with a generous cabinet layout, provides plenty of storage. The pantry also has space for a built-in coffee center.

C. The family entrance has a door leading directly outside — perfect for casual guests and for letting out the pooch.

D. The open family room makes the home feel very large while supporting the concept of casual entertaining.

E. This transitional space is part of the flex plan concept. If formal dining is required, it can act as a butler’s pantry. It can also be partially closed off to become a pocket office, storage, or flex space, providing multiple options that do not involve adding square footage.

F. Large flex room can serve a variety of purposes based upon the buyer’s needs

G. Secret bonus room off the owner’s closet can be an exercise area, extended closet, safe room, or some other use

H. With a suite this nice and large, your teenager may never want to leave. Maybe we’ll just call it a guest suite for now.

I. Loft space can be just about anything: iPad station, printer area, kids zone, or a spot for whatever Apple releases next week
