This post, however, is all about two-story country house plans. But, if you’re on the fence, you might be wondering, “why two-story?” Read on for some great reasons to build a two-story home, and then we’ll share our favorites!

Why Build A Two-Story Home?

Although a two-story home is not for everyone, and it does seem they have lost some popularity in the last several decades, there are still plenty of great reasons to build a two-story home.

1. Separate entertainment space and living space. Some folks like the well-defined separation that a two-story allows between the kitchen, dining and living rooms, and the bedrooms and bathrooms. Oftentimes, the entertainment areas are downstairs and the bedrooms are upstairs.
2. Capitalize on a view. Sometimes, two-story homes are designed with a specific view in mind. Maybe the mountains can only be seen from the second level. In this case, the entrance might be to the second-level entertainment space, while the bedrooms are on the first level.
3. Lot or building pad limitations. Two-story homes can be great for smaller lots, since the home can be built up instead of out. Since half the square footage is stacked on top of the other half, the footprint of the home can be smaller without compromising square footage.
4. Slopes or other natural features. Sometimes, a two-story home is built on a sloping lot, where the home has an asymmetrical footprint to match the slope. It is not uncommon to see a drive-in garage below the living space, or other designs to take advantage of the natural slope of the property.
5. Appearance. Many people just like the look of a two-story home. A lot of times they do have a more classic, timeless look. There also seems to be a lot more variation in style and floor plan with a two-story.
