As fun as it is to pore over contemporary estates or rustic tiny homes, most people just want something in the neighborhood of 2,000-2,500 square feet. These new designs fit right into that window, with must-have features like open kitchens and generous storage.
Late summer evenings call out for porch time, and this home delivers lots of space for outdoor living. Owners can host fun casual meals at the kitchen’s snack bar, which fits five people, or take the party over to the elegant dining room. The great room and the breakfast area both open to the back porch. Other thoughtful features include the side-loading garage, which doesn’t detract from the home’s charming curb appeal, and the flexible bonus room that can be finished upstairs.

This modern farmhouse presents families with tons of thoughtful amenities and generous outdoor living rooms. The open layout encourages gathering in the family room and island kitchen, with the walk-in pantry holding lots of groceries nearby. A summer kitchen invites cookouts on the back veranda. Easy to reach on this level, the master suite includes a generous walk-in closet, two sinks in the well-equipped bathroom, and a door to the veranda. The study provides a handy place for working from home, with a full bathroom just a step away. Two more bedrooms rest upstairs. See more images, information, and the floor plan.
This one-story home stands out with brick, stone, and shake siding. A bay window adds even more curb appeal and extra space to one of the secondary bedrooms inside. The master suite invites owners to unwind in the large shower or the whirlpool tub that adds luxury to the master bathroom. A walk-in closet provides generous storage. In the heart of the home, the great room displays a decorative tray ceiling, a corner fireplace, and easy flow into the open dining room and kitchen. The island will become the natural hangout spot in the kitchen. Step out to the porch for cookouts. See more images, information, and the floor plan.
Filled with contemporary amenities, this one-story design presents homeowners with many options for how they want to use the spaces. For example, the flex room near the kitchen can become a cozy breakfast nook (complete with a fireplace), an open office with easy access to the screened porch, or perhaps even a homeschooling center. An island and snack counter add casual meal space to the kitchen. Near the master suite, the study could easily serve as a guest suite. Owners will love their large shower and double sinks in the master suite. On the opposite side of the home, two more bedrooms share a hall bath. See more images, information, and the floor plan.
