About Nordbay: 1-Story Modern Scandinavian House Plan
Nordbay is a 2841 sq. ft., 1-story modern Scandinavian beach/lake house plan designed for those who crave clean lines, natural textures, and effortless indoor–outdoor living. The exterior sets the tone with sleek metal roofing cascading in a waterfall effect down the siding, contrasted by striking wood accents that warm up the modern profile. A front-load 3-car garage includes a rear overhead door, giving you straight-through access to the water for you're lake vehicles. A welcoming covered front porch completes the entry. Step inside the dedicated foyer and feel the openness unfold. To the right, the heart of the home blends the dining, kitchen, and great room under tall cathedral ceilings with walls of windows framing panoramic lake views. The kitchen centers around an expansive island, backed by a butler pantry, which leads to a separate private pantry—the ultimate prep and storage zone. The great room extends to two private covered deck areas, creating seamless flow for lakeside lounging and entertaining. Off the main area, a private hall leads to two secondary bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath, plus a nearby laundry room. On the opposite side, enter from the garage into a functional mudroom, then follow the hall to the secluded master suite. This retreat features cathedral ceilings, a full wall of windows overlooking the water, a private covered deck, a luxurious spa bathroom, a massive walk-in closet, and its own dedicated washer/dryer for total convenience. Purchase the optional finished basement to transform Nordbay into an entertainer’s dream. At the base of the stairs, a wet bar opens to a spacious rec room and family room—ideal for gatherings, games, and movie nights. Off the rec room, a hallway leads to a flex room, two additional bedrooms, and a full bathroom. Storage is abundant, and a dedicated lake storage room at the rear makes it easy to keep water toys organized. Directly off this storage zone is a lake bathroom and lake laundry room, perfect for rinsing off and cleaning up without tracking sand and water in. Numerous covered patios below offer endless spots to relax, entertain, and soak in lakeside sunsets.

Advanced House Plans draws to Omaha, Nebraska building codes, so some changes may be needed to meet your local standards, and areas prone to earthquakes or hurricanes may require review by a local engineer. Plans are not pre-stamped; a structural engineer's stamp is offered for all 50 states and Canada as a checkout option and takes one to three weeks. The blueprints do not include detailed HVAC or plumbing layouts, which are set by local code and your subcontractors, and they assume prior construction knowledge rather than serving as a step-by-step build guide.
Want changes? The quote is free.
If you like Nordbay but a few changes would make it perfect, Advanced House Plans can alter it. Every plan is drawn in house, so the people who change it are the people who designed it. The most common changes are priced up front on the plan page, and anything beyond those gets a free written quote.
Drawn in house
Every plan is designed by Advanced House Plans themselves, so an alteration goes straight to the original designer instead of through a third-party drafting service.
Free quote in one business day
Send an alteration request from the plan page and a written quote comes back within one business day. If you accept it, they send an online contract to sign and pay. Nothing is owed for the quote itself.
Common changes priced up front
Exterior wall type, foundation, a reversed plan, a site plan, editable CAD files and an unlimited build license are all priced on the plan page itself. The options and prices that apply to this plan are listed above.
What will it cost to build this house plan?
Plan price is one number. Construction cost is the number that decides whether you build. Advanced House Plans runs a free Cost Estimator on every plan page: enter a zip code and it prices Nordbay against real local new-construction records.
Your zip code, real records
The estimator pulls real estate records for new construction in your area to get an all-in cost per square foot, which includes builder fees, excavation, realtor fees and even lot cost.
Adjusted for this plan
That cost per square foot is applied to this plan's total finished area, then adjusted for features the average does not cover, such as extra garage space and large covered porches or patios.
Low to high, by finish level
The result is a range you can move by choosing a finish quality. Advanced House Plans is explicit that it is a ballpark, not a number to use for financing or to hold a builder to. For that, get the plan bid by a contractor.
