House Plans Builders Loved in 2020

As you can see, farmhouses were king this year! Consumers continue to be drawn to the open, laid-back style that you'll see in each of these top 3 designs, so it's no wonder builders were keen to purchase them. At first glance, you'll notice that all of these homes fall into the affordable small-to-midsize range and have three bedrooms, so they're exactly what today's families look for.

A Modest Farmhouse with a Study & Bonus

House Plan 7844 comes in at 1,988 square feet, so it makes a great choice for those who want a lot of potential in a smaller house. The three bedrooms are lined up on one side, tucked into two hallways and spaced apart by bathrooms for privacy. The open floor plan has plenty of windows for natural light and a cathedral ceiling that definitely amplifies the space. Those working from home will appreciate the study off the foyer, and if the kids need a place to play or focus on schoolwork, they can make the bonus over the garage their own.
A Two-Story Farmhouse with Split Bedrooms

The largest home on this list, House Plan 7375 has 2,570 square feet on two levels that allow parents and children to spread out. In addition to open-concept living and ample storage, the main level includes an office and the five-piece master suite with a walk-in closet that connects to the main laundry room. Upstairs, two more bedrooms are separated by a shared loft area that could easily be a secondary living space, and two rooms of future space provide even more flexibility. There's also laundry up here to make it easy for the kids to do this chore themselves!
