2nd Level Floorplan Help

11 years ago

HELP! :)

I am renovating an old rowhouse that measures 16 by 50. I need help with the second floor layout. I would like it to be 3 bed, 2 bath, a W/D (side by side) and as much closet space as possible. There will be a staircase leading both up and down. There are 3 windows evenly spread out in the front of the house and the back can be whatever we choose. Also, we want one master, one larger bedroom (so it can be a share one day) and then a smaller bedroom.

Wish list: 2 sink vanity, toilet closet for master bath

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know if this will help, but if you have the basic Paint program, you can play around with it. I found a traditional row house plan:

Adjusted the top floor to m/l match your 16x50 foot print:

Deleted the basement. Now the adjusted original top floor plan and a blanked version are side by side. I adjusted the windows, but left the stairs. Click on the pics for larger images.

That's a pretty tall order for 800 sf less the area for the stairs. It would sure help if you could make a sketch or something at least indicate where the stairs and windows are located.

I there presently a bath upstairs and where is it located.

Any info that anyone would take the time to post would possibly be useless without this info.

THE FRONT WINDOWS ARE THREE ACROSS, EVENLY SPREAD OUT. NO SIDE WINDOWS. ITS IN NYC, SO COMPACT QUARTERS ARE THE NORM. THE STAIRS ARE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HOME AND WILL BE ABOUT 3 FEET WIDE. THERE ARE NO PLUMBING RESTRICTIONS AS WE ARE GUTTING THE HOME. THANK YOU.

No need to yell.It may have been a good thing to note that you were gutting the house in the OP.Say I took the time to help you out and drew a plan for you and the stairs cam down in the middle of your first floor kitchen or someplace you did not want them?I have just wasted my time for your lack of info while asking for help.If you want me to put MY effort into YOUR project for FREE it would not hurt for you to invest a bit time into yourself with getting pissy.

I'm done here.

I wasn't yelling, just had all caps on while doing something else. I think you wasted more time trying to teach me a lesson than anything else and from the sound of it- you're the only one who is frustrated.

Just asking the general community to help and for insight. If you're annoyed by my post, lack of clarity, etc., feel free to ignore and not comment.

Otherwise, any insight would be appreciated.

on a side note, the stairs are on the right side, but they can be anywhere in the home because we are gutting. Thanks to anyone if they share their insight.

I have to say I'm in the same boat as Precision. Lots of us are willing to help, but board etiquette says you should at least post a drawing with dimensions of what's there. A verbal description isn't sufficient, because I'm not sure what "front" side and "right" side mean. Take a few minutes to sketch out what you've got and you'll get a lot more (and better) help.

I have no idea how to post a drawing. I'm not a pro just someone looking for help or ideas for a floorplan for a 16x50 rectangle. There really aren't any restrictions- the stairs can be anywhere (though it doesn't seem like the best use of space for a narrow home to put stairs in the middle).

Yes, but how can you Google image it if you don't know the address. My username is not associated.
