Living & Dining Spaces
The great room is central under standard ceiling height (9 ft), and opens into the kitchen and dining areas, creating an open and inviting flow.
The dining area includes French doors out to an outdoor deck (roomy enough for patio furniture or grilling), which helps extend living outdoors.

The kitchen is well-appointed with a center island/breakfast bar, which helps with meal prep and casual eating. The pantry adds useful storage, and the sink is located beneath a window, giving views to the outside.
Outdoor Living (porch, deck, patio, etc.)
Besides the front porch, there is an **outdoor deck** off the dining area. It’s large enough to accommodate a seating set or grill, offering good outdoor living potential.
Garage & Storage
An attached **2-car garage** with storage space is included. This gives room not just for vehicles, but possibly workshop, tools, or other storage needs.
Additional storage features include the pantry, walk-in closet in the primary bedroom, and closets in the hallway and bedrooms.
Bonus/Expansion Rooms
No formal bonus room or second floor is part of the base design; it’s a single-story footprint.
However, the deck and the large garage storage area offer flexibility, and depending on lot and foundation, additions or expansions could be possible.
Estimated Building Cost
The estimated cost to build this home in the United States ranges between $550,000 – $700,000, depending on region, material quality, foundation type (slab vs crawlspace vs basement), finishes (flooring, cabinetry, roofing), and labor rates.

With three bedrooms, great open living areas, a deck for outdoor enjoyment, and a two-car garage, it balances space and livability beautifully. Perfect for families wanting charm without excess.
