Luxury Home Floor Plan

Luxury Home Floor Plan Main Level

I recently came across an interesting website that allows homebuyers to purchase floor plans. The site is www.eplans.com and their user-friendly interface allows home plan shoppers to easily select from square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, stories, and garages. In addition, an advanced search option permits the user to further refine their search.

I thought it would be interesting to highlight one of their more extravagant house plans, so I began by selecting from plans of five bedrooms or more. After viewing several traditional and not-so-traditional homes, I came across a 7,031 square foot home plan provided by Home Planners.

Luxury Home - 7,032 Sq. Ft. - 5 Beds - 7 Baths

While a specific name is not assigned to this plan, it is referred to as a New American style house, its main level is 3,913 square feet, and has a total of five bedrooms with seven baths (four full-baths and three half-baths). The house is three stories with three garages and 131 feet wide by 75 feet deep.

Luxury Home Floor Plan Lower Level

Features include a master suite, formal dining room, kitchen with breakfast nook, home office, game room, media room, wine cellar, and attic space.

The cost to purchase reproducible master plans of this house costs $2,400. Five sets of blueprints can be purchased for $1,675. For an additional fee of $29.95 ePlans will provide you with an estimate for the average cost to build the floor plan of your choice. It appears that they have partnered up with U Build It - a nationally run network of franchised construction companies that builds new homes - and buyers can click through to their website through a large banner advertisement.
