Awesome comfort and accessibility can be a reality when you choose from house plans that have first floor master bedrooms. And with tons of possibilities at your fingertips, you’ll find this option in all sorts of homes!
Traditionally, the master suite is on the second or highest floor of the home, but customer preferences have started to change. Homeowners all over the country and across demographics are seeing the many benefits of having their master bedroom on the first floor. Whether you or a loved one has limited mobility, or if you simply want to be closer to the main areas where everyone hangs out, check out our homes with first floor master bedrooms.

Accessible Relaxation for Everyone
One of the many great things about first floor master bedrooms is how easy they are to get to. As you look through the many different styles and layouts available, you’ll notice a few commonalities across designs.
For instance, you’ll see that a lot of these plans have the master either off of the kitchen or the living room. This makes for an easy transition between entertaining and then heading off to bed after everyone leaves.

Open concept layout with an accessible first-floor master
THD-3404 (‘Green Acres’) is a great example of accessibility. Look at how the master is directly off of the great room. This, combined with the large, open concept living spaces, makes it prefect for a wheelchair or other accommodations as necessary. Homeowners of all ages and abilities will enjoy the gorgeous layout that flows naturally throughout the home, on the main level and even upstairs.
You may also notice that first floor master bedrooms come in plans of all shapes and sizes. Seen below, THD-1006 (‘Aurora’) and THD-3086 (‘Greene’) illustrate this availability across a wide array of styles. While one is a large contemporary plan, the other is a simpler Craftsman dwelling. They share the comfort of accessible first floor master bedrooms, though!

While accessibility is one of the primary draws of first floor master bedrooms, you can also think of them as an investment. If you plan to sell, having a plan with its master on the main level can open your home up to a larger pool of potential buyers. This feature provides value now, and in the future!
A Quick Rejuvenating Retreat
While many of our plans have wonderful master suites, first floor master bedrooms are especially preferred by customers. Just think about how nice it would be to come home after a long day and have your master and its spa bath right around the corner. The truth is, homeowners have grown to love the convenience that a ground-level master offers. And even in the smallest of plans, you can usually find a first floor master suite that is fit for royalty!
Consider the spaces that you value the most in your suite. Is it a large or even dual walk-in closets? What about a spa bath with a soaking or a jacuzzi tub? It could even be a cozy reading nook, perfect for curling up with your favorite novel. No matter the desire, we have first floor master bedrooms that can check some and even all of these things off the list!
When you find your dream master layout within a home with a first floor master bedroom, you can combine comfort and convenience. So, kick off those shoes and take a deep breath… relaxation is just around the corner.
