How to Choose Narrow Lot House Plans

If you are looking for narrow home, you might be having trouble deciding which ones are right for you. If that’s the case, here are some tips you can utilize to ensure you’re making the best choice.

Look at Square Footage and Number of Stories

One of the first things you will want to look out for is the square footage of the home and the number of stories that the home has. Just because your lot is narrow, this does not mean that you can’t get a lot of square footage. Search for homes that have what you need as far as the amount of square footage.

Also, look at the number of stories as you are perusing narrow lot house plans. Some people are adamant about only having one story for the home. With a narrow lot, this can make it challenging to get enough space for your needs. However, there are long narrow house plans that you can look around for. These will give you more length so that you have enough room while staying on your narrow lot.

If you go with two stories, you might find that it’s a lot easier to get all the space you want. This is because the two floors are stacked on top of one another, so you won’t have to build off of your narrow lot to get additional space. The space can be added to the top of the home, or it can be added to a basement underneath the home.

Is There a Garage?

Many small lot house plans are narrow and typically do not include garages. This can be quite the challenge for many homeowners, as most want to have a garage to keep their vehicle safe and protected, and to store their stuff. That’s why it’s important to look for narrow lot house plans with front garage.

A front garage will not be wider than your narrow lot, but it will go in front of the house. Some people like this and some do not. If you want a garage, look at some of the options out there. You can probably find a house plan for a narrow lot that has a garage shape, size, and placement that you will like.

Style of Home

You should also, of course, look for the style of home that you like. Just because the home is narrow, doesn’t mean that you can’t get the aesthetics that you like. From narrow lot modern house plans to traditional plans and beyond, you can find the one that fits your tastes while getting the shape that you need.
