A narrow lot can present unique design challenges. These striking home plans rise to the occasion with modern open layouts and contemporary amenities. The exteriors contribute Craftsman curb appeal that would fit nicely in a traditional neighborhood.

Porch Appeal

The kitchen’s island gives owners plenty of room to prepare food while interacting with family members in the nearby living room. Special details include lots of storage (check out the master walk-in closet), a handy mudroom on the way in from the garage, and covered outdoor living in both front and back. See more images, information, and the floor plans.

Generous Terrace in Back

Filled with modern features, this home proves that you can live large without huge square footage. The master suite is easy to reach on the first level and surrounds homeowners with upscale amenities: a walk-in closet, dual sinks, a large shower, and a separate tub. In the open gathering zone, family and friends can hang out in the family room by the fireplace or have a seat at the kitchen’s snack bar. A large covered terrace invites everyone to dine outside when the weather’s nice. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms (each with a walk-in closet) share a Jack and Jill bathroom. See more images, information, and the floor plan.

Party in the Kitchen

A wide porch adds impressive outdoor living space to this design. Modern details include plentiful storage, a cooktop island in the open kitchen, and laundry located on the second floor. Upstairs, the master suite displays a sitting room, a separate tub and shower, and double sinks. Three additional bedrooms (one can become a loft) share a full hall bath that boasts two sinks for easy sharing. See more images, information, and the floor plans.

Master Suite Easy to Reach

With the master suite on the main floor, two more bedrooms upstairs, and a versatile den, this home nicely balances open living areas with comfortable sleeping zones. The kitchen overlooks the dining nook, which opens to a covered patio. From the garage, it’s just a few steps to unload groceries into the walk-in pantry. The master suite gives owners two sinks, a large shower, and a walk-in closet. Kids and visitors can relax in their bedrooms upstairs, where a vaulted attic provides extra storage. See more images, information, and the floor plans.
