Is it a starter home or a move-up? Depends on who you ask. This new modern home design could go either way.
On the starter home side, it fits quite a narrow lot and keeps heated square footage to a modest 1,593.
The argument for seeing it as a move-up: that garage holds two cars, there are three bedrooms all together on the second floor (good for families), and, well, doesn’t it look kind of upscale?

The open layout feels fresh and contemporary, and still provides a dining area that’s not the kitchen island (though there’s one of those, too).

Here’s the main floor plan. A mudroom greets you on the way in from the garage, making it easy to stay organized. The kitchen opens completely to the living and dining zones.

Here’s another point in favor of the move-up side: the primary suite’s bathroom with its two sinks, spacious shower, and walk-in closet.
While the secondary bedrooms aren’t large, two linen closets in the hall add utility.
