2 Story House Plans
2 Story house plans offer flexible options for both play and privacy,separating entertaining areas of the home on the first floor from bedrooms on the second.
Two-story homes are efficient and flexible in design.
- Sharp-Sloped Roof, designed to help heavy snow slide to the ground
- Large Oversized windows, allowing light to pout in from the front and rear
Ideal for separating entertaining areas of the home on the first floor from bedrooms on the second, two story home plans offer flexible options for both play and privacy. Although traditionally favored by fans of classic Georgian, Colonial, Farmhouse and Victorian style homes, duel level homes can also suit the needs of those with ultra modern tastes. First floor room options can include formal living and dining areas or more casual kitchen/great room configurations that feature dramatic two story soaring ceilings. Entryways often take center stage in two level homes with grand staircases as a focal point. But elegant isn't the only option. Families seeking a cozier feel will find dozens of down to earthplans featuring comfortable family rooms with fireplaces, spacious eat-in kitchens, mud rooms, basement recreation rooms and more. Two story house plans are perfectly at home in suburban settings, vacation destinations and small town streets
2 Story House Plan Features
Zoning
Typical two-story homes are zoned for private spaces (bedrooms) upstairs and public spaces (kitchen and family) downstairs.
Strategic Placement of Closets and Baths
As in two-bedroom homes, look for placement of closets and baths that serve to dampen noise and increase privacy between bedrooms.
