Chrysalis

The starting price covers the home built to spec, delivered and installed on a prepared foundation. Foundation, site preparation, servicing, permits and development charges sit outside it and are quoted separately against your lot. The Chrysalis spreads across a 65′-0″ by 44′-0″ footprint including the attached garage, so excavation, driveway and servicing runs are larger jobs here than on a compact model. The Chrysalis tops our Family band on price; see where it sits among all 33 models.

Both bedrooms sit in a wing of their own at one end of the plan, with the bathrooms between them and the rest of the house. The master runs 12′-4″ x 12′-8″ with a 7′-0″ x 8′-0″ walk-in closet and an ensuite of the same size; the second bedroom is 12′-4″ x 9′-6″. Everything else — the 15′-0″ x 14′-2″ family room, the dining area and the 13′-10″ x 10′-10″ kitchen — occupies the opposite side, so the sleeping end stays clear of the entry and the garage.

Yes — a 21′-0″ x 23′-0″ attached double garage is part of the plan as drawn, not an add-on. Two vehicles are shown side by side, and it opens onto the foyer rather than directly into the living space. It’s a significant part of the building’s footprint, so it affects both your lot coverage and your driveway budget. For a garage without a new house, see our standalone garages for existing homes.

The building measures 65′-0″ wide by 44′-0″ deep at its outer extents, including the garage. It’s an L-shaped footprint rather than a full rectangle, so it doesn’t fill that whole envelope — but setbacks are measured to the outermost walls, so that’s the area to plan against. Your municipality’s lot coverage limit and setbacks are what actually govern, and those vary by zone.

Down to the foundation level — what’s there is your choice. The plan shows a stair beside the foyer marked “DN”, which can serve either a crawl space or a full basement depending on what you need and what your lot allows. A crawl space keeps the foundation simpler and the site budget lower; a full basement adds usable square footage at a higher excavation cost. That decision is made at the site review and quoted against your property, since frost depth, soil and water table all bear on it.

Yes — the Chrysalis is a starting point, not a fixed drawing. The living side is the more flexible half, since the family room, dining area and kitchen sit in one open run with few fixed walls between them. Changes that move plumbing or exterior walls cost more than changes that don’t, so raise them before the drawings are finalised rather than after.
