With 1,461 sq. ft. of living space, this one-story home features two bedrooms and a home office that can serve as a third bedroom. Its welcoming architecture blends modern farmhouse, Scandinavian, and contemporary rustic influences.

Part of the Maibec Collection: Warm, Timeless Curb Appeal
As part of the Maibec Collection, the Cedar Grove 3 showcases carefully coordinated exterior materials and finishes.
The exterior combines Maibec CanExel siding in Falaise with Maibec Acenta Rosa screw-on stone in Amande. The subtle two-tone variation of the Falaise finish adds depth and character to the facade.
These materials create a beautiful balance of texture and color. The stone accents complement the home's clean lines and distinctive gables. Together, they bring modern farmhouse charm and timeless ranch-style appeal to the design.
The result is a welcoming exterior that fits beautifully in suburban neighborhoods and more rural settings.
Bright Open-Concept Living with 9-Foot Ceilings
Inside, the living room, kitchen, and dining area share a spacious open-concept layout. Nine-foot ceilings throughout the main floor enhance the sense of space and natural light. This thoughtful arrangement encourages family interaction while keeping everyday living comfortable and practical.
The kitchen features a center island with additional workspace and a separate pantry for convenient storage.
The dining area benefits from abundant natural light and provides a comfortable setting for family meals. Nearby, the living room features a fireplace and built-in storage, combining warmth with everyday functionality.
The efficient floor plan makes excellent use of the available square footage without unnecessary hallways or wasted space.
Two Bedrooms Plus a Flexible Home Office
The main floor includes two bedrooms and a dedicated home office, which can also serve as a third bedroom.
The primary bedroom features two walk-in closets, offering generous storage. The second bedroom can accommodate a child, guests, or a home workspace.
The full bathroom includes a separate bathtub and shower, a double vanity, and a private toilet compartment. This layout offers added convenience for busy households.
A separate laundry room with a utility sink, practical entryway with coat storage, and an attached one-car garage complete the main floor.
An Unfinished Basement Included, with an Optional Three-Bedroom Layout
The standard house plan includes an unfinished basement, ready for future finishing. This gives homeowners the flexibility to create additional living space as their needs change.
An optional finished basement floor plan is available, featuring three additional bedrooms, a family room, and a full bathroom.
With three possible bedrooms on the main floor and three more in the optional basement layout, the Cedar Grove 3 can offer up to six bedrooms.
This flexibility also opens up new possibilities for the main floor. For example, the second bedroom could become a home office, while the original office becomes a children's playroom.
This flexible one-story house plan is well suited to growing families, larger households, and multigenerational living arrangements, depending on the chosen layout.
