The dimensions are 40′ in width and 70′ in depth; the maximum ridge height is 20′ 4″.
The attached two-car garage (437 sq ft) occupies the front portion of the home, with the entry located at the front. The roof pitch is a modest 4 on 12, consistent with contemporary style and enabling broad, shallow rooflines.
Exterior walls are built with 2×6 construction, which provides better insulation and depth for windows—helpful in climates where you may want larger openings and better thermal performance.
Because of the rectangular footprint and modern style, you’ll likely see combinations of mixed materials (wood siding, stone accents, large windows, metal trim) — the plan notes mention accent details such as brick or stone and cornice details.
Interior Walk-through
With 2,009 square feet of heated area all on one level, this is a one-story home plan. The single-level layout offers convenience and accessibility.
As you enter the front door, you arrive into a formal foyer. That foyer aligns with the entry from the garage, sharing a coat closet which helps tidy the transition space and makes use of an otherwise dead zone.
From the foyer you proceed into the heart of the home: the combined living, dining and kitchen area. This space faces the rear of the house and features three sets of sliding doors opening to a covered porch—perfect for indoor-outdoor living, letting in generous natural light, and giving a strong visual connection to the backyard.The kitchen is well-designed for functionality and entertaining: a large elongated island anchors the space and provides seating and workspace. Adjacent to the kitchen is a walk-in pantry, which is adjacent to (and in fact shares with) the laundry room. The laundry room shares access with the master suite as well—this efficient adjacency is a thoughtful touch.
On one side of the home are three family bedrooms grouped together around a full bathroom, near the garage. This keeps the “kids’ zone” or guest zone clustered and separate from the master suite.
The master bedroom is situated privately toward the rear of the home, with a four-fixture bathroom (likely dual vanities, shower + tub, water closet) and a walk-in closet that opens directly to the laundry room—excellent convenience for the homeowner. Ceiling heights throughout are 9′ for most rooms, with the living room at 10′ and the master bedroom vaulted.
From the plan you can also note the open-concept space flows without many partitions, which fosters social interaction and flexible usage of the living/dining/kitchen zone. The generous sliding doors and the covered porch extend that space outdoors.
Dimensions & Estimate Considerations
Width: 40′ 0″
Depth: 70′ 0″
Heated area: 2,009 sq ft
Garage: 437 sq ft (2-car, front entry)
Ceiling heights: 9′ general, living room 10′, master vaulted.
For estimated costs in the Tanzania or East Africa context: if you assume a moderate construction cost (for example USD 140–200 per sq ft) depending on finishing level, local labor/materials, then for ~2,000 sq ft you might budget USD 280,000 to USD 400,000 as a rough ballpark. (Adjust up/down according to local conditions and finishes.)
Further adjustments: premium finishes (large glazing, imported fixtures) could drive cost upward. Simpler finishes and local materials could reduce cost.
This plan offers a strong balance of contemporary styling, efficient layout, and modern conveniences.
