Spruce New Englander Home Plan

The Spruce New Englander is a “vertical living” home with options offered for finishing the third floor with three different roof options. 

  1. Build this house with a truss roof system for cost and time efficiency. Important note: This will lock you into never finishing the third floor. 
  2. Stick frame the roof system and have an unfinished third floor with the potential for dormering out by the staircase for head-height and future living space when needed. 
  3. Frame the roof with the dormer and add two bedrooms or offices, a bathroom, and shared living space on the third floor. 

Let’s take a quick tour of the home. This style is perfect for a narrow lot. On the first floor, a generous entry leads to the staircase accessing the second floor and basement. A sitting room off the entry includes built-ins, a fireplace, and doors to close it off. A family room connects to the kitchen/dining area, which opens to a large deck for warm-weather entertaining. A side-entry mudroom offers efficient storage.

Upstairs, a bay window at the front creates space for a playroom or office. Two large bedrooms share a common bathroom, with a full laundry room nearby. The primary suite is at the back of the house and includes a generous walk-in closet, a bathroom with a water closet, dressing table, large shower, and double vanity.

The basement can be finished, so group mechanical systems together to preserve open space. This level could function as a gym, workshop, playroom, or family room.

Materials are moderately priced. The exterior features white vinyl siding, black windows, and a black roof—classic and timeless. Interior finishes include black and white tile in the mudroom, neutral checkerboard tile in the powder room, mosaics in the upstairs bath, and Carrara marble in the primary bath. The kitchen is blue and white with gold lighting and hardware. Wallpaper is introduced in the powder room and select bedrooms for accent.

Plans come with all three roof options and can be flipped depending on driveway location. Additions off either side or the back—like a mudroom, breezeway, or garage—are easy to accommodate. The gable end (or back of the house) can be extended as far as needed. As with all Abrigo Home plans, interior walls can be customized around the staircase, which remains fixed.

DISCLAIMER: Structural and Civil Engineering will need to be done by the Builder. Code: All drawings are in compliance with NH Building Code IBC 2015. Your builder will need to verify your local building code.

We’re happy to collaborate with you to ensure that the home plan you purchase meets your expectations and specific needs. There are, however, a few aspects that cannot be changed in order to maintain structural integrity and compliance with building regulations. Specifics can be found in the description of each home plan listed on our site. Generally, will not change the staircase location, roofline, or footprint of a home plan. Changing interior walls, bathroom layouts, cabinetry, and more to better meet your needs is completely attainable. Plans can also be flipped for the price of $200 (billed separately).

Yes! The rate for this service is $300/hour, and we’re happy to provide a cost estimate following an initial consultation. The process is much simpler when clients can provide the CAD or DWG files for the home plan. If you only have PDFs, it’s important to understand that we essentially need to digitally rebuild the design within our CAD software to make edits from there. Ultimately, we find that it can be more cost- and time-efficient to draw a completely custom home from the get-go for those customers.

As an architectural designer, Amy sends all completed custom home plans to your hired structural engineer to be stamped for approval. This ensures that the design adheres to all local building codes and structural requirements before construction begins.

Abrigo Home specializes in customizable home plans and design solutions. When it comes to executing those plans, we have a network of highly-regarded professionals who we’re happy to put you in touch with.
