Our Norfolk model plan is named for the Atlantic port city in Virginia. Norfolk has a rich colonial American history, especially due to its strategic naval prominence. This house plan is fashioned from “kit house” style urban homes of the early 1900s. An enterprising homeowner might purchase such a plan to build the house himself, with the help of friends and family. Such a plan is compact and very simple to build. It would be ordered from a catalog selection such as those published by Sears and Roebuck. The plans and all of the lumber components would be delivered to the site. The kit might cost a little over $2,000. Our model has three bedrooms on the second floor. There is just one bathroom, the tub/shower and toilet are chambered from the vanity sink area for a measure of privacy from other family members. Kit homes are fun to look up on your favorite browser. There you will find how our house has been redesigned for today’s lifestyle. It would be an easy task to get a lumber takeoff for this home for the DIY construction.
