Frank Betz Craftsman House Plan: The Palmdale

The Fun Times Guide To Homebuilding reader (Deb) wrote in not long ago wondering if I had a few more interior photos of the Frank Betz Palmdale craftsman house plan that I mentioned in my March 2008 post featuring a subdivision named Summerlyn.

The answer, of course, is yes...lots of them.

Deb...sit back and gather some ideas for your homebuilding project. This post is with you in mind.

The standard Palmdale plan is a 3br/2.5ba, 2073 sq. ft. plan plus 450 sq. ft. for the two-car garage (as in the above mentioned link) but the Palmdale house plan that I visited in Summerlyn had the optional 4th bedroom with full bath and walk-in closet plan, adding a tidy 350 sq. ft. to the plan.

Building out the optional 2nd floor really made the most of the square footage that this house had to offer. It was basically a teen suite, as agent/co-developer LaVaughn Johnson pointed out to me. It could just as easily be a guest room, in-law suite, home office or tiki bar (if you so chose it to be). The point being that it is an option not to be overlooked in a home of this size.
