Whether you build on scenic natural lots or near population centers with cityscapes in the distance, people love being able to enjoy their surroundings from the comfort of home. Perhaps you need plans with great patios, porches, or even roof decks? Take a look at our collection of homes with outdoor living to find options!

House Plan 8851 makes an ideal getaway with 1,729 square feet and two bedrooms, and keeps to a tight footprint thanks to its three-level design! The main level includes the foyer, open great room, a half bath, and the laundry. A lofted bedroom suite sits upstairs and there's another large bedroom with a hall bath in the basement along with the family room. Owners will enjoy the deck and patio potential!

House Plan 9506 makes a great choice for a side sloping lot! This 3,584-square-foot design places the open living spaces, master suite, and den on the main level while two bedrooms and a rec room fill out the basement. Of course, it's the outdoor living that really makes this plan stand out—that wraparound deck extends from the façade to the master suite in back and greatly expands the feel of the home.
