THE Richmond is a versatile, creative sort.  Eye-catching on the outside, beautiful on the inside, yet down to earth at heart.  Earning a boy-scout badge for always being prepared, Richmond has the ability to attune to any situation and has the means to take it on.  Open-mindedness is one contributing factor, but a rock-solid foundation is another trait that gives the confidence required to take on any task.  Richmond is available with many different suits, whether in Richmond of Portland, Richmond of San Francisco, or Richmond of Virginia.  If appearances concern you, rest assured that there are alternate forms available.

A small porch greets you from the street.  In other guises, this might be the stoop of old that brings you in contact with your neighbors on a warm summer night.  The foyer inside is small but open and coatpegs give pause to consider your next move.  The parlor is outfitted with bay windows and a fireplace.  Arched openings lead to the dining room and service hallway.  The dining room is matched to the parlor with a similar bay window. Further on down is the sizeable kitchen with access to the grilling porch, view deck, or woodshed.

Off the service hallway is a small powder room and a flex space. Such space could be an office, playspace, or guest bedroom in a pinch.  If you would like a basement version, built in bookshelves turn the flex room into a reading space or quiet retreat.

The second floor contains three bedrooms and two baths. The master suite is outfitted with a modest bath and walk in closet. Two other bedrooms share a private bath. This plan offers a little bit of design challenge as we skinnied the 'B' down to 18' wide from 20'. Lest we be accused of inconveniencing you with our continual reductions, we have increased the closet size over our other Richmonds.

The small laundry closet upstairs is made bigger by utilizing the space in the landing. A fold-out ironing board in the extra floor space would help to alleviate any tension and crampedness that might otherwise be felt.

This plan is sold with joisted, post and beam, slab, and basement style foundations included. Please specify which you would like when ordering. At this time, we will not make custom revisions to the plan. However, if you would like to make suggestions to improve the plan, we would love to hear your comments. If you simply must have something changed, consider purchasing the Erasable Vellum or CAD file.

 

All plans include four elevations, floor plans, foundation plans, at least two building sections, framing plans for the second floor and/or roof, and notes and construction details. This is everything you will need to build, but may not be everything you need to get a permit. Electrical layouts, cabinet elevations and engineering are not included.
