The Joliet house plan is a French Country-inspired design engineered for narrow urban lots, measuring 20 feet in width and 46 feet in depth. This 1,560 square foot home features a two-story configuration complemented by an unfinished basement, providing a total of 1,560 square feet of heated living space. The exterior is defined by an 8:12 roof pitch, contributing to a maximum building height of 25 feet, which allows for vertical presence on constrained infill sites.

The main level encompasses 787 square feet, organized around an open-concept core that integrates the kitchen, breakfast area, and family room. A central kitchen island with an eating bar serves as the focal point, while a wall pantry provides organized storage. The family room is anchored by a fireplace, creating a defined gathering area. A powder room and a dedicated laundry area are positioned on this floor to support daily utility without encroaching on the primary living zones.

Occupying 773 square feet, the second level houses three bedrooms, ensuring a clear separation between public and private quarters. The second-floor master suite includes a walk-in closet and a private bathroom equipped with a double vanity sink. Two secondary bedrooms share access to a full bathroom. With 8-foot ceiling heights throughout the upper level, the rooms maintain consistent proportions for furniture placement and natural light distribution.

The unfinished basement offers additional square footage for future expansion, suitable for a recreation room, home gym, or storage. The structure is designed for efficiency, utilizing a compact footprint that maximizes site coverage options for urban developers. The architectural profile balances traditional French Country design elements with a modern, efficient floor plate.
