Interior Layout
You enter under the vaulted front porch into an open great room / kitchen / dining zone that stretches wall to wall under a vaulted ceiling.
The entire front of the home is under a vaulted ceiling, allowing continuity from kitchen to fireplace without visual break.
Bedrooms are located at the rear, separated by two bathrooms, which enhances privacy.
The garage has direct access into a mud / utility area, making daily transitions smooth.
Floor Plan:
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The plan includes **2 bedrooms**.
There are **2 full bathrooms**, one serving each bedroom wing.
The bedrooms lie on opposite sides of the home, so each gets its own bath corridor and privacy.
Living & Dining Spaces
The vaulted great room is the heart of the home, with views stretching across to exterior windows or doors.
A fireplace likely anchors one wall in the living zone, creating a focal point.
Natural light from front and rear glazing helps visually expand the compact footprint.
Kitchen Features
The kitchen is integrated into the open zone, facing into the living/dining spaces to maintain connection.
Its placement under the vaulted ceiling helps it feel more spacious than its footprint suggests.
Outdoor Living (porch, deck, patio, etc.)
The **front porch (216 sq ft)** is sizable for a small home, giving room for seating and an outdoor buffer.
The **rear porch (102 sq ft)** adds a sheltered transition to the backyard or deck.
This combination gives the home generous outdoor spaces relative to its size.
Garage & Storage
The **2-car side entry garage (≈ 500 sq ft)** provides shelter and convenience without dominating the front.
Storage is accommodated via closets in bedrooms, utility / mud closets, and efficient layout design.
Bonus/Expansion Rooms
No bonus or upper level is included in this design—it is strictly one story. 20
