| Is it just me or does Don Gardner have something against 2nd story masters? I have found it very difficult to find a plan from him with 3 or 4 bedrooms on the 2nd floor. I also haven't found a good way to search on his site for these specifications.
Anybody have any good plans that have 3 or 4 bedrooms - including the master suite - upstairs by Don Gardner? |

| I should be more specific. I am looking for 3-4 beds upstairs in a home around 3000 sq ft. Anything more than 3200 or 3300 is just too much space. He has a lot of 2-story plans but they are in excess of 4,000 sq ft. |

| Is there a particular reason why you want to stick with Don Gardner? Like every other on-line plan designer, Don Gardner designs what will sell most easily. And most people these days who want a 2 story house want the master on the main level to save themselves from walking up/down stairs quite so much. Also, many people are concerned that as they age, they won't be able to climb stairs so there are probably going to be a limited number of plans such as you describe on any body's website. To find something you like, it would probably be best to look at a variety of online designers. That said, using the "advanced search" function on Don Gardner's site I pulled up these...all with three or four bedrooms upstairs (including the master) and all between 2500 and 3300 sq ft total. |

| We seriously considered the Aspen Hill House (still like it a lot) showed it to a builder that could not stop laughing at us to even consider a 2nd story master so we went back to reconsider - chose a ranch and was fortunate to build in 2005 and sell in 2011 at a profit. |

| www.dreamhomesource.com has a search feature that allows you to search for second story master bedrooms, you could try that. How about something like this: http://www.dreamhomesource.com/house-plans/dhs/dhsw68376.html?from=sea rch |

| I just looked at the search features on Don Gardener's site, and there is also an option for an upstairs master. |
