With its modest square footage, this attractive two-storey house would be an ideal starter home. The side-access foyer and compact design make it eminently suitable for a narrow lot, or possibly a corner lot. Thirty-four feet wide, with 1,731 square feet of living space, the house is efficiently designed to ensure there is no waster space.

On the upper floor, for instance, the three bedrooms fan off a central core rather than give space to hallways. The rear-view master suite has a walk-in closet and bright en suite that receives light from three corner windows. The two other bedrooms are quite spacious for a house of this square footage, and share the main bathroom.

On the main floor, the living room has a vaulted ceiling and is separated by the foyer from the dining room, which has access to the back yard. The kitchen includes a work island and a pantry and is open to the breakfast nook/family area. The double garage has access to the home through the laundry room.

A powder room, with a convenient pocket door, is located alongside the laundry room. A large, arc-top window and brick detailing, along with decorative roof vents and a half-circle dormer window add to the charm of the exterior. This house is 34 feet wide and 44 feet, 10 inches deep and is featured with a crawlspace.
