Top Floor Plans For Young Families
Looking for the right floor plan is one of the most exciting parts of any new home search. There are so many possibilities for how your home could be laid out, plus optional upgrades to choose from. For over 30 years, Ernest Homes has crafted homes that families love, and while our designs have evolved, our commitment to quality, comfort, and value has stayed the same—no matter which floor plan you choose.
While your family’s needs are unique, there are a few floor plans that tend to be especially popular with young families. Here are three Ernest Homes plans that offer the space, flexibility, and functionality growing households often need.
What Are the Best Floor Plans for Young Families?
The Liberty – Comfortable Single-Level Living
If you love the idea of one-story living, the Liberty is a great fit. Welcomed by a wide, open foyer, this plan opens into a spacious 1,459-square-foot layout that’s ideal for everyday living and casual entertaining.
- Single-level home with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms
- Open main living area that keeps the kitchen, breakfast nook, and great room connected
- Large center island with high bar seating—perfect for snacks, homework, or casual meals
- Kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances
- Covered back porch for outdoor dining or relaxing with a good book
The owner’s suite is set slightly apart from the secondary bedrooms for privacy, but still close enough if little ones need you during the night. A large walk-in closet and double-sink bathroom help make busy mornings easier.
The Wassaw – Flexible Space for Everyday Life
For families who want a bit more room to spread out, the Wassaw offers approximately 1,898 square feet of well-designed living space. Several exterior elevation options let you choose the look you love, while the interior focuses on function and flow.
- 4 bedrooms arranged along one side of the home with the owner’s suite at the rear
- Open main living area that allows you to stay connected while cooking, dining, and relaxing
- Options to enhance the owner’s suite with a double vanity, garden tub, and separate shower
- Available covered patio option for outdoor meals and playtime
- Optional heated sunroom with flexible uses—home office, playroom, craft room, or reading space
The Wassaw’s layout works well for young families who want bedrooms close together, plus flexible spaces that can evolve as children grow.
The Greybeard – Room to Grow for Larger Families
If you’re looking for even more space, the Greybeard floor plan gives growing families plenty of room to live and play. This two-story home offers up to 5 bedrooms or 4 bedrooms plus a loft, 2.5 bathrooms, and approximately 2,579 square feet of living space.
- Spacious open kitchen with pantry, granite countertops, and an optional island
- Flexible main-level room that can serve as a playroom, dining room, media room, or whatever your family needs
- All bedrooms located upstairs along with the laundry room and a full bath
- Option to convert one bedroom into a loft for gaming, homework, or a second family room
- Owner’s suite with a large walk-in closet, double vanity, garden tub, and stand-up shower
The Greybeard is a great choice for families who want extra bedrooms for kids, guests, hobbies, or multi-generational living—plus a layout that can adapt over time.
