The Southport: One of Our Best Floor Plans for New Homes in Fayetteville, NC!

Building a new construction home is an exciting journey! From picking the homesite to choosing designer finishes, it’s a fun process resulting in your dream home. Among the first things you’ll choose is your floor plan. A floor plan is the layout of your home, typically a scaled diagram viewed from above. It’ll include the location and size of details like bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, windows, and more. They’re essential for understanding the flow and functionality of each living space. Dream Finders Homes offers several unique floor plans for new homes and are here to help you find a plan that suits your lifestyle, needs, and budget. Today, we’d like to guide you in choosing the right one for you and highlight the Southport, one of our best floor plans.

How Do I Choose the Best Floor Plan for a New House?

Choosing the perfect floor plan for your new home involves asking yourself several important questions to dive deep into your wants and needs. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate this important decision:

1. Assess Your Needs and Lifestyle

Consider your current and future needs. How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you need? Do you prefer an open-concept layout or defined spaces? Do you like to host guests frequently? Have a live-in aging parent? Do you need a work-from-home space? If you have family members to accommodate, have a quick family meeting to discuss details. For example, you may know how many beds and baths you need but think about storage space for shared bedrooms or a jack-and-jill design for shared bathrooms.

2. Visit Model Homes

While a floor plan blueprint helps give you an idea of the layout, nothing beats physically seeing and walking through the real thing. Visit model homes and make notes of features and designs you like or don’t like. You can also reflect on friend's and family’s homes you’ve visited and ask yourself if the layout would suit your lifestyle.

3. Set A Budget

Setting a budget is crucial when choosing the best floor plans for your new home. It’s easy to go overboard and make changes that add to the cost of your home. Dream Finders’ homes include many popular features as standard, but you may still want to make some tweaks. We’ll work with you to personalize your home with upgrades while staying within budget.

4. Consider the Flow & Functionality

Is the flow of the floor plan conducive to your daily activities and routines? Visualize how you will move through the space. Consider individual rooms, their spacing, size, and how you will use them. Even things like placement can make or break which floor plan is right for you. Do you want your children’s rooms separate from yours for privacy or close by to easily check on them? As nice as it is to have plenty of bathroom space, you may not want one right by the kitchen. The flow and functionality of your floor plan is one of the most important aspects to think about.

5. Review and Revise

Once you’ve selected a floor plan and upgrades, you should review your selection to ensure you haven’t missed anything. Check the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, where rooms are located, if it has an open-concept layout, if the loft you wanted is included, and anything else on your checklist. Make any revisions before finalizing your decision.

Comfort

Imagine yourself in your spacious living room, streaming the latest episodes of your family’s favorite show, or gathering around the kitchen island with a flush overhang for a casual meal with loved ones. Gather family and friends for movie night in the upstairs loft or turn it into a recreation room and let the kids enjoy their favorite games. With a first-floor bedroom and bathroom, separate areas for study and dining, a welcoming covered front porch, and many more thoughtfully designed living areas, the Southport offers ultimate comfort to accommodate your lifestyle. Not to mention energy-efficient features that create a healthier and more comfortable living environment.

Elegance

The moment you enter the Southport you'll be greeted by elegant design touches and thoughtful details that elevate the space. The Southport features an inviting foyer that passes a study (with an optional door) and a dining room (with optional coffered ceilings). It guides you to the spacious, open living room and kitchen with a modern layout. A major highlight is the upstairs primary suite with an expansive closet. The upstairs is well-balanced with a central loft location and laundry room for an easy laundry day.
