This appealing design for a one-bedroom-plus-den family home, tailored for a lot that slopes to the back, will allow plenty of room for expansion, thanks to the unfinished basement included in the plans. Entry is up two steps to a covered porch, welcome protection in inclement weather. The porch’s angled sidewall echoes the shape of the den or second bedroom, with its attractive bayed-out, partly-mullioned window. The foyer extends in two directions. To the left are a coat closet and powder room, ideally located for guests, and straight ahead, past the den, is the open-plan living area, including a great room, dining area and kitchen. The great room’s corner fireplace will attract family members in the cooler months, while the dining room’s access to a covered deck and the back garden will make the space equally pleasant during the warmer months. The kitchen is separated from the rest of the space by a six-sided prep island and eating bar, so the cook will never feel isolated. An L-shaped counter configuration promises efficiency. There’s a window over the double sink. The master suite, located at the back of the home for privacy, includes a generous walk-in closet, as well as an ensuite with a tub and a shower stall. The linen closet is also located in this room. The laundry room enjoys access to the double garage. All ceilings are nine feet high. Exterior finishes include painted trim, horizontal siding and decorative garage doors. This home measures 35 feet wide and 62 feet deep, for a total of 1,371 square feet.
