Empty-Nester House Plans | The House Plan Shop

In general, Empty-Nester house plans are thoughtfully designed for those whose children are grown and have moved out of the house. In most cases, this means the occupants are retirees who have finally made it to the stage in life where they can kick back, relax, and enjoy. Typically, empty-nester home plans offer a comfortable floor plan and practical features that will carry retirees and baby boomers alike through the next phases of life. Most of these designs share a few common features including an open floor plan, an outdoor living area, and a large master bedroom filled with fine appointments designed to pamper. Empty-nester house plans are of no particular size as most retirees and empty-nesters are interested in building the “right-size” home. Additionally, they are available in a wide range of architectural styles including Country house plans, Contemporary homes, and Southern houses.
