The Allen

2 bed · 2.5 bath · 1,256 SF · 2 story · 16’ × 42’

(+ flex on the first floor)

The Allen — Modern Townhome Plan with Bonus Room. 2 Bedroom, 2.5 Bathroom, 1,256 SQ. FT. with a bonus first-floor room for a home office, den, or additional bedroom if needed. This urban townhome is an efficient yet functional layout. The design is economical for new construction. Great for a home or rental property. The flex room is the whole value proposition — it lets one plan serve a couple working from home today and a growing family tomorrow, with no renovation required. A townhome built close to neighboring lots benefits from steel’s tight tolerances — panels arrive square, so party-wall alignment and floor-to-floor consistency aren’t left to chance on site.

•  Dimensioned floor plans

•  Foundation plan and roof plan
