New Home Plan – The Primrose 1316 is a charming Craftsman design with a modest floor plan.
NOW AVAILABLE!
This compact Craftsman home plan is economical to build with its uncomplicated footprint and lowered roof-line. Interesting angles are mirrored in the kitchen bar and dining room columns, tying the living spaces together in the open floor plan. A cathedral ceiling runs from the great room to the over-sized screen porch creating a feeling of spaciousness, and the mud and utility rooms at the garage entrance provide storage and organization space unseen from the common areas.

Here’s another one of our conceptual plans!
Please take a few minutes to give us your feedback!
Conceptual Plan 1316 has the same floor plan as our recent Conceptual Plan #1303 which was the culmination of suggestions, feedback and modifications made from our original designs 839, 1180, 1291 and 1229. In this new design, the roofs have been modified and lowered to allow for a more economical build. As a reminder, this plan has a master suite with an extra large walk-in closet and the master bath has an oversized shower. The single eating area is located in the rear of the house with the kitchen and its pantry in the front. A side entry garage is provided with its own man door for outside access. An extra large mud/utility room is provided along with adjacent space for pet (cat or dog) food and water bowls. The cathedral ceiling found in the screen porch also comes equipped with skylights.
Please take a few moments to tell us what you think!
Does anyone have any photos of this plan after being built?
Hi Jared, I’m sorry but we have not received any photography of The Primrose yet. Let us know if we can help with any questions that you have about the design – 1-800-388-7580 or info@dongardner.com
We will be building this plan in fall ’18. We’d also like to see if anyone has built this one….do you have a link, if so? thanks!
Hi Mary, we will have updated progress photos of The Primrose coming very soon to our “Rendering to Reality” blog!
I like your house plans but I need more bonus rooms upstairs. It seems that there would be room to put more than above the garage.
Hi Paul, if you would like to request this modification and work with our designer to see what is possible, you can get started with our online modifications form!
Could you eliminate the screen porch and extend the great room out and simplify the roof line in back?
Hi Ray, It is likely that this modification could be done but a designer would have to look at your request to tell you with certainty. You can submit a modification request to get a quote and work with a designer.
Hi Ray, The Primrose #1316 is now available!

I really like this design but what if you where to put a half bath by the mud room, verse having to go through the entire house for a bathroom.
Hi Christine, thank you for the feedback. We can definitely consider that for the final design. And if this feature doesn’t make it in the design, we can always offer modifications so the plan will better fit your needs.

That’s exactly what I was thinking, too.
Thank you, Marti!
Hi, is this plan ready yet? This is very close to what we’re looking for.
Hi Mike, Design #1316 is on the schedule to be completed in March. This is a rough date and it may get moved back if we receive orders for other designs that are in progress.

I really like the exterior changes with the combination of stone, lap siding and shake siding. The interior really flows, has great use of space and great architectural details. This could be the one.
Thank you Lynn! When you are ready to order, call 1-800-388-7580. We can have the plan ready in 12 – 14 weeks.

Hi Bob,

If you are certain this is the plan you want to build, you can order it in advance and we’ll start production right away. It would be complete in about 14-16 weeks. Give us a call at 1-800-388-7580 if you’d like more information!

Love the changes! This is soooo close to what I’m looking for, but with two rooms lacking. Is there something similar to this with an office and a half bath, while staying close to 2000 square feet?
Thanks, Sandy!
The two closest plans to what you’re looking for are the Lochaven and the Cloverdale. These plans each have 4 bedrooms and two dining spaces, and can have a half bath worked in with modifications.

The Cloverdale Plan #490

Will this plan have a basement option? If so, where would the stairs be located?
Hi Allie,

Yes, this plan will be available with a full basement option once it’s complete! The stairs will most likely be worked in around the utility room running underneath the bonus room stairs, similar to how they are in the Raleigh Plan #1303, pictured:

Really nice plan – thank you! Very thoughtful and functional design, with a few extra treats too. Might be nice to exit to the patio from the MBR …

Just curious when this plan will get a color dipiction?
This plan has not yet been selected for completion, and won’t be updated with a color rendering until it is. If someone purchases it we will start production and update this page with a color rendering. I will update you whenever that happens, or you can order the plan over the phone if you think it’s The One! (800)-388-7580
Hi Stephanie,
Conceptual Design #1316 is Now in Progress, and a color rendering is available!

Thanks! I think this is the one. I haven’t found one I like better. I live in the Rockledge now. This is a nice downsize.
