Kitchen-Focused Plan for a Narrow Lot
Just 34 feet wide, this striking home fits nicely on a narrow lot. A three-car garage opens to the rear, making this a good choice for backing up to an alley. The open layout revolves around the island kitchen. Upstairs, the master suite opens directly to the laundry room to make chores easier. See more images, information, and the floor plans.
Prairie-Influenced Style with Abundant Windows

From the dramatic curving staircase to walls of glass in many rooms (even the laundry room!), this home brings beauty to everyday living. The master suite in particular surrounds owners with comfort and views from the spa-like bathroom (check out the windows above the tub), the bright walk-in closet, and even a private deck. Two of the three additional bedrooms feature box-bay windows. Car enthusiasts will love the additional detached garage and shop. See more images, information, and the floor plans.

Here’s a remarkably versatile one-story floor plan. On the exterior, contemporary styling brings bold curb appeal. Terraces in front and back offer quite a bit of space for outdoor living, part of it covered for protection on sunny days. Inside, the split-bedroom layout provides privacy for the master suite, which boasts a luxurious bathroom and a door to the terrace. The adjacent study would make a great office or perhaps even a snore room for a noisy partner. See more images, information, and the floor plans.
Wide Appeal and Upscale Amenities
This one-story home works equally well for families and empty nesters. On the exterior, sleek rooflines and a side-entry garage give serious curb appeal. From the foyer, you get a clear view through the grand hall all the to way back to the porch. The U-shaped kitchen includes a central island. The master suite offers outstanding luxury with its spa tub, big shower, and walk-in closet. See more images, information, and the floor plans.
