Little Torch House Plan
New American Lake House Plan
2,242 SQ. FT. | 3–4 BED | 3 BATH | 2-STORY | 2-CAR ATTACHED GARAGE
Little Torch is a lake house with natural wood on the outside and a great room inside that rises 19 feet to the ridge. The eat-in kitchen opens straight into it, so one tall room is where the house lives.
A large covered porch and open decks take that room outdoors. Upstairs, two bedroom suites each have their own bath; the primary has two walk-in closets and a four-fixture bath. A 575 square foot side-entry garage is attached, and the plan is drawn for three bedrooms with a fourth possible.
A 19-foot great room: the vaulted ceiling goes all the way up, and the whole main floor is arranged around it.
An eat-in kitchen off the great room: no wall between cooking and everything else.
Natural wood outside: wood detailing that gives the house its New American character on a lake or a wooded lot.
A covered porch and open decks: more than one place to sit outside, under a roof or under the sky.
A primary suite with two closets: two walk-in closets and a four-fixture bath upstairs.

What foundation does Little Torch come with?

How tall is Little Torch and how much ground does it cover?
The maximum ridge height is 30' 0". The footprint is 79' 6" x 44' 0", which is the number to check against your setbacks; porches and the garage count toward it even though they are not in the heated area. Heated living area is 2,242 square feet on 2 stories.
