5) what does it mean exactly to "stretch" a floorplan?
It means that the standard floorplan has been extended to create more room. Perhaps an additional 2 feet, perhaps 4 feet. It makes the rooms larger, or the garage larger, or the lanai larger. You can extend to the side, to the rear, or (garage) to the front.
Doing this requires a lot that can fit the larger size home.
Our homes are short of storage space because there is no basement. Attic storage is limited because of the extreme heat. So adding square footage in your home or garage is valuable. And not just for storage, also for more living space.
