Today’s house hunters aren’t just looking at square footage and bedroom count—they’re searching for features that can support their lifestyle, routines, and future needs. The numbers still matter, of course, but so does a home’s story. We think your clients will like the story that our Boston paired home tells.
This thoughtfully designed plan offers the kind of layout, features, and options that resonate with a wide range of clients, from young professionals to downsizers. Buyers who choose the Boston can enjoy low-maintenance living without sacrificing flexibility or style. As their real estate agent, you have the opportunity to help clients envision their life in this floor plan by building a narrative around the home. In this article, we’ll help you tell that story.
Typical specs
To start with, we should go ahead and get the numbers out of the way. When it comes to the Boston, your clients can expect the following specifications:
- Two stories
- Approx. 1,260 to 1,510 sq. ft.
- 3 bedrooms
- 2.5 bathrooms
- 2-car garage
Now let’s explore what those numbers really mean for your homebuyers!
Main floor: the heart of daily life
The main floor of the Boston plan is where the story truly begins. The home opens with a covered entry or porch, a feature which offers incredible benefits in itself. Encourage your clients to imagine themselves out there, enjoying a cup of coffee or the latest bestseller, no matter the weather. And think of the porch decorations! Point out places where buyers can hang flower pots in the spring, or place a pumpkin in the fall.
As your clients step inside, they’ll immediately notice the seamless flow between living spaces. The open living room, dining area, and kitchen all feel connected in a way that’s ideal for hosting, relaxing, or simply going about daily routines. Homeowners can stand at the kitchen island and prepare a delectable meal for family or friends, without missing out on the socializing. Meanwhile, the adjacent dining area offers space for a table and chairs, plus more seating can be added to the island.
Have clients with young kiddos? The layout of this first floor provides an unobstructed sightline for parents to keep an eye on their little ones. Additionally, for buyers with older relatives, the main-floor powder room removes the need to go up and down stairs just for a bathroom!
Covered patio: outdoor living, elevated
The Boston’s exterior spaces may be low-maintenance, but they’re far from basic! Outdoor living areas remain popular lifestyle features in today’s real estate market, but some buyers shopping for a paired home might assume they won’t find a plan that has everything they need plus outside entertaining spaces.
The Boston breaks that expectation in the best way. This inspired floor plan comes with not just a patio, but a covered patio. This desirable feature offers a number of benefits to your clients, including:
- Expanded entertaining areas, especially with the addition of optional center-meet sliding glass doors (available in select markets)
- Multi-season versatility with shelter from sun, rain, or snow
- A tranquil space to enjoy fresh air and nature
When showing this home, consider framing the patio not just as extra square footage, but rather as a wellness and lifestyle amenity. Help buyers envision everything they could do with this charming space—perhaps add a table and seating for al fresco dining, or set up a cozy reading nook with rocking chairs and throw pillows.
Upstairs: restorative and convenient spaces
If the main floor of the Boston plan is about connection, the home’s second level is all about rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation. It’s where homeowners can retreat at the end of a long day, and where guests or other household members can settle in for the night.
The highlight of the second floor is the primary suite, which feels luxurious without being over-the-top. Its generous walk-in closet provides plenty of space for storing clothes and accessories, while its private bathroom creates a secluded and spa-like environment. Couples will also be pleased to know that, depending on the region, the primary bath may be built with double sinks…which means no more fighting over counter space while getting ready!
Two secondary bedrooms offer additional accommodations for children, other family members, or overnight visitors. Buyers can appreciate that these rooms are versatile enough to fulfill a wide range of needs. Clients who don’t have kids, for instance, could repurpose one of the rooms into a home office and the other into a space for guests. Regardless of what kind of buyer you have, be sure to emphasize the flexibility as a key selling point.
One final detail to note is the upstairs laundry room. This is the kind of everyday convenience that buyers don’t necessarily consider until they see it. Once they see it, though, the advantages are obvious. No need to lug heavy baskets up and down stairs, or trip over laundry clutter in high-traffic areas. For buyers juggling work, family, and busy schedules, this small feature often feels like a big win.
The Boston’s appeal across multiple buyer segments
One of the best things about the Boston paired home is its broad buyer appeal. As an agent, you have the chance to serve multiple client types with the same floor plan, including:
First-time buyers
Affordability paired with modern style makes the Boston ideal for those entering the market. The thoughtful design and included outdoor area help first-time buyers feel like they’re getting more than they might’ve expected.
Downsizers
For empty nesters or retirees looking to simplify without sacrificing comfort, the Boston offers manageable square footage while still feeling open and inviting.
Young families
The secondary bedrooms, connected living spaces, and convenience features like the upstairs laundry make the Boston perfect for families with little ones.
Professionals
With flexible rooms, low exterior maintenance, and a generous 2-car garage, this plan can accommodate the busy, fast-paced lifestyle of a career-driven professional, whether they work from home or commute.
A timeline for every buyer
Not every buyer is on the same timeline…lucky for them, we have options!

For house hunters in a hurry, we have Boston listings available at various communities. These quick move-in homes come with professionally curated fixtures and finishes, and can be ready to close in as little as 30 days. This route is perfect for buyers who want a beautiful new home without the wait or the decision fatigue.
What about buyers who’d rather personalize?
If you have clients who are eager for more design control (and are taking their time), we also have to-be-built homes available in select markets. Depending on the community, homebuyers who select this path may be able to select fixtures, finishes, and/or structural features for their new abode. This option is great for those with a specific vision in mind and no strict timeline for their move.
