You might recognize this design—House Plan 8516 was the most popular plan among builders in 2020! It still offers tons of appeal in a 2,188-square-foot, three-bedroom layout similar to that of House Plan 7229, above. It stands out with a longer, more formal foyer alongside a traditional dining room with a trayed ceiling. The great room is vaulted, complete with decorative beams. This home also creates even more privacy for the master suite by tucking it deeper down its own hallway!
