Intergenerational Home Plan with Two Bright, Well-Integrated Living Units: COLECHESTER (#3040)
The intergenerational home plan COLCHESTER (#3040) is thoughtfully designed to support shared living while maintaining comfort, privacy and independence for each household. Ideal for accommodating parents, extended family members or multi-generational living, this model features two distinct yet harmoniously integrated units within a cohesive architectural design.
Both units share a range of carefully planned features that enhance everyday living. Each residence includes a covered front balcony with an entry vestibule, providing protection from the elements and a welcoming transition indoors. 9-foot ceilings throughout the main floor create an open, airy atmosphere, while windows on all four sides ensure abundant natural light in both units. Generously sized closets at the entrances and in the primary bedrooms offer ample storage, complemented by linen closets conveniently located near the bathrooms. Each unit also includes a main-floor laundry room, adding practicality and ease to daily routines.
The main unit (#1) stands out with a warm and inviting living space highlighted by a fireplace and a cathedral ceiling in the living room, creating an impressive sense of volume. The kitchen is designed for family life, featuring a large central island and a walk-in pantry, and opens naturally to the shared living areas. At the rear, a spacious covered terrace provides a comfortable outdoor extension of the home. The unfinished basement offers excellent future development potential, allowing for additional bedrooms, a family room or flexible living spaces as needs evolve.
The secondary unit (#2) offers its own welcoming environment, with a large covered front porch and open-concept living areas that include a kitchen with a central island. An interior connecting door allows access between the two units, promoting close family interaction, while this feature can be modified for a semi-detached configuration if desired. The basement is designed as a crawl space, with alternative foundation options available to suit specific requirements.
This intergenerational house plan delivers a flexible, well-balanced living solution that responds to modern family needs. With its thoughtful layout, strong natural light and adaptable design, it supports long-term living arrangements while respecting the comfort and independence of each household.
