Modest Home Plan Offers Modern Amenities

Except for the attached garage, this two-story home plan puts the viewer in mind of many modestly sized homes built in the '20s and '30s

Small panes of glass fill the upper sashes of the double-hung windows, and the porch is framed by sturdy wooden columns atop masonry bases

But once inside, it's clear that this is a contemporary plan

Living room, dining room and kitchen flow together, creating one large room rather than the three small ones typical of older homes

A clean-burning gas fireplace tucked in the back corner serves as a focal point, providing warmth and color when the weather outside is dreary

Counters wrap around two sides of a spacious kitchen that has a central work island

The flush eating bar rimming the front is handy for snacks, homework supervision, or conversation with people working in the kitchen

For efficiency, sink, stove and refrigerator are placed in a tight, step-saving triangle

The deep walk-in pantry is generously sized, and utilities are just around the corner

Doors there lead to the garage and covered patio

If desired, the covered patio could be screened, to increase outdoor dining pleasure

The owners' suite is on the main floor, and larger than one might expect in a home this size

Amenities include: a roomy walk-in closet and direct access to the main bathroom

Upstairs, the front bedroom is larger than the rear, ceilings slope down on both sides, and the two rooms share a bathroom outfitted with an oversized shower

A wide linen closet lines the hallway., Have any questions? Talk with us directly using LiveChat.
