We’re all aware of 1-story and 2-story house plans but have you ever explored a 1.5 story home? This unique layout gives you options a 1-story home does not while also requiring a smaller investment than a 2-story house. One and a half story house plans are usually as tall as a 2-story home but the second floor has sloped ceilings that do not extend to full height. These house plans are designed with the master bedroom and laundry on the main floor creating the convenience of a 1-story house plan while also giving you a handy upstairs bonus area.
