House Plan of the Week: Wait, That’s a Shop House?

This unique design combines storage on the ground floor with an open living space above.

2 MIN READ

Shouse plans, or shop-house designs, have been a trend for a bit now. This new shouse plan showcases the versatility of the style.

From the front, you’d never guess that this house is half garage. A stone arch with a balcony above it welcomes visitors and creates romantic curb appeal. Steep gables and touches of board-and-batten add to the modern cottage vibe.

Now for the back. Here’s where owners drive into the spacious three-car garage. The rest of this floor is dedicated to a large workshop, a small pocket office (with windows), and various storage.

Let’s head to the living zone. The upper level presents an open layout with 1,399 square feet of space, including the great room and island kitchen.

Three bedrooms provide room for family, friends, hobbies, and more. Don’t miss the main suite’s surprisingly big shower and walk-in closet.
