Method Homes Option Series Review

Method Homes Option Series Review, Cost, Floor Plans, and Photos

Method Homes’ Option series is made up of 9 pre-designed modular home floor plans. The single-story plans include the Option 1.1, Option 1.2, and Option 1.3. For two-story homes, buyers can choose between the Option 2.1, Option 2.2, and Option 2.3. Three-story floor plans include the Option 3.1, Option 3.2, and Option 3.3. 

The Option series was designed in collaboration with Grouparchitect to create modern yet liveable modular homes that can adapt to different types of lots. All 9 Option Homes can easily attain net-zero energy efficiency through green upgrades like solar paneling. However, unlike other Method Homes series, solar paneling does not come standard with the Option series.

Option series homes take on a modern yet simple design with open floor plans. Homes usually feature lots of windows, horizontal Smartside siding, and single sloping roofs with overhang to create covered porches. If desired, buyers can completely customize their home’s finishes, with wood facade and cement facade available. The ‘Option’ in the name refers to the myriad customization choices.

While pre-designed floor plans in the Option series have similar designs and appearances, their square footage varies radically. Option 1 homes stand one story tall, with floor plans ranging from 922 to 1,338 square feet. The two-story Option 2 homes range from 1,746 to 2,320 square feet. Option 3 homes stand three stories tall with floor plans ranging from 1,372 to 2,216 square feet.

Method Homes Option Series Cost

Turn-key costs for Method Homes’ Option series range from $347 - $401+ per square foot. While the turn-key prices start at just $360,000 for a single-story home, adding a second story raises the all-in price to at least $660,000. All-in costs for a three-story home can run as high as $790,000, while building the largest two-story floor plan can cost as much as $830,000. However, these all-in cost estimates do not include the cost of land, higher-end upgrades, or customization, either. You can find a cost table with prices for each of the 9 homes in the Option series below.
