This compact, affordable home features a distinctive exterior marked by a massive stone chimney, narrow lap siding and a dormer over the garage.
The two-story plan offers three bedrooms in only 1,359 square feet of living area.
The 18-foot-by-12-foot-4-inch living room has a vaulted ceiling, a fireplace, and corner windows.
The central kitchen has a handy grocery access and a pantry. It is conveniently situated between the breakfast room and the formal dining room, which has a pass-through for serving. The dual eating areas represent a bonus in a home this size.
French doors provide access to the back yard deck. A powder room and closet complete the main floor.
The skylit stairway leads upstairs to a hall overlooking the two-story living room and the hearth below.
The 11-foot-8-inch-by-13-foot master suite includes a walk-in closet, a private bath, and an extra-high window above a window seat.
The two secondary bedrooms have walk-in closets as well. One of them can be left open as a loft for reading, television watching or as a play area.
The plan calls for a full basement, with a recreation room, laundry/
utility area, and storage.
