A 1.5 story house plan is the perfect option for anyone who wants the best of both worlds–the convenience of one-story living and the perks of two-story architecture.
One and a half story home plans place all main living areas and usually also the master suite on the first floor. Additional rooms and/or loft space for children, visitors, and flex use are placed upstairs to help provide more square footage without expanding the size of the home’s footprint. Many one and a half story floor plans provide voluminous living areas with high ceilings, split bedrooms for greater privacy, and the flexibility of over-the-garage bonus rooms. 1.5 story floor plans are popular for aging in place and come in a variety of popular styles!

1.5 story floor plans generally have the master suite and the main living spaces on the main level and additional bedrooms on the second level. This provides the benefit of easy access to the master with no stairs compared to a 2-story home with the master on the second floor.

In a 1.5 story home the main level is larger than the upper level. It is common to have dormers or gable ends that feature sloped ceilings with windows. In a 2-story home the upper level is the same size or larger than the main level and will feature full height ceilings throughout.
