Good things come in small packages, as this
delightful home from Visbeen Architects proves. Inspired by the Craftsman
aesthetic and classic all-American bungalow design, this compact yet charming
design packs a lot of personality into an efficient plan that is perfect for a
tight city or waterfront lot. Inside, the first level includes both public
spaces (the fireplace-warmed living room, open kitchen with an oval island, and
the casual dining room), and a generous guest suite. At night, buyers can relax
on the roomy screened porch or the patio. The second level holds two spacious
bedrooms, including the versatile master suite with its office/reading room
that would also make a great nursery. See more images, information, and
the floor plan.
