Photo Tour Of A Finished Henry

The Henry Floor Plan And Elevations

Single story, 1,800 heated square feet on a 50 by 58 foot footprint. Three bedrooms, two full baths plus a powder room, an open-concept main living space, a utility room and a dedicated storage area.

Nine-foot ceilings. Concrete slab, stick frame, 8:12 main roof pitch, 22 feet 9½ inches overall.

No garage and no carport.

What Does It Cost To Build A Henry?

At $65 to $160 per square foot on 1,800 heated square feet, roughly $117,000 to $288,000 before land, site prep, well, septic and utilities.

Add porch to that, deliberately. 1,016 square feet of covered porch is more than half again the heated area of a small house, and all of it sits on the same slab under the same roof. Porch costs less per square foot than conditioned space — no insulation, no drywall, no HVAC, no interior finish — but it is nowhere near free, and a per-square-foot estimate run on 1,800 will miss it entirely. You are pouring and roofing 2,900 square feet.

Kit shell: $20 to $35 per square foot plus $10 to $15 to assemble.

The absence of a garage cuts both ways on budget. You save the slab, the doors and the framing. If you then build a detached garage later you will pay more for it standalone than you would have as part of this build, and you will pay it at whatever prices are current then.

Local labor and self-GC’ing move this more than any design choice. Get county bids.

Is The Henry Right For You?

The partner markets this as a multi-generational plan. Be precise about what that means here, because it is not what the phrase usually implies. There is no separate suite, no second kitchen, no private entrance and no attached ADU. The multi-generational case rests on three ordinary things: it is single-level so there are no stairs, it has three bedrooms so people have privacy, and the extra powder room takes pressure off the morning routine. That is a real argument for aging parents or adult children under one roof. It is not a two-household building, and if you need genuine independence — separate entrance, separate kitchen — this plan does not provide it and a modification would be substantial.

The single level is the actual selling point, and it is underrated. No stairs means no future retrofit, no stairlift, no bedroom stranded on a floor someone can no longer reach. If you are building the last house you intend to own, that matters more than most features people shop for.

1,016 square feet of porch is a lifestyle decision with a bill attached. On a hot-climate lot with a view, wraparound covered space is the best money in the whole plan and people who have it use it daily. On a cold, wet, or windy site it is 1,016 square feet you paid to build and roof and then looked at through a window from November to March. Be honest about your climate before you fall for the elevation.

Two and a half baths across three bedrooms is adequate, not generous. The powder room serves guests, which is the right call. But there is no second full bath serving the secondary bedrooms independently — two children sharing, or a live-in parent, means sharing a full bath with everyone else.

No garage is a genuine cost, not a quirk. No covered parking, no shop, no lawn equipment storage beyond the 84 square foot storage area. In a snow climate this is felt every winter morning. Price a detached garage into your budget from the start rather than treating it as phase two.

Where it is straightforwardly strong: a 50 by 58 footprint is close to square, which is cheap to frame and roof and fits lots a 100-foot-wide plan cannot; nine-foot ceilings on an open plan live larger than 1,800 square feet suggests; and the 8:12 pitch at 22½ feet overall keeps it low enough to sit comfortably on a rural lot without dominating it.

Henry RP-10003 FAQ

How big is the Henry barndominium?

1,800 heated square feet on a 50 by 58 foot footprint, single story. Unheated area adds 1,100 square feet — 1,016 of porch plus 84 of storage and powder room — so the full footprint under roof is 2,900 square feet. Overall height is 22 feet 9½ inches.

How many bedrooms and bathrooms does the Henry have?

Three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one powder room. The plan also includes a utility room and a dedicated storage area.

Is the Henry really a multi-generational plan?

It is designed for multi-generational households in the sense that it is single-level and accessible, has three private bedrooms, and adds a powder room to ease shared routines. It does not include a separate suite, a second kitchen or a private entrance. If you need two genuinely independent living areas, look at a plan built for that.

Does the Henry have a garage?

No — no garage and no carport. Storage is limited to an 84 square foot area inside the building. Budget for a detached garage if you need covered parking.

Can I modify the Henry plan?

Yes. Minor modifications are $400 for up to three changes that do not alter room sizes or overall dimensions; major modifications are $1,000 for up to five changes or anything that does. Flipping is $275, a foundation change is $350, radiant floor heat is $325, a CAD/DWG file is $775.
