Dealing with a slim lot? Check out these new designs. Each one maximizes space with an open layout and the kind of visual tricks (like long sightlines and rooms set at angles) that make a space feel larger than it is.
This
smart design uses clever techniques to make the home feel bigger, like placing
room entrances at an angle to make sightlines longer and incorporating a patio
into the footprint of the home. The living/dining room greets you from the
foyer, with art niches adding detail. An archway draws you into the family
area, where the open island kitchen offers a snack bar and bright breakfast
nook. An optional fireplace makes a great focal point. In the master suite, a
large shower, corner tub, two sinks, and a walk-in closet create a relaxing
retreat. Two more bedrooms share a full hall bath. See more images,
information, and the floor plan.
A bold mix of materials gives plenty of curb appeal
to this plan, which will fit nicely on a compact lot. Inside, every square foot
is used wisely, with good sightlines from the front door through to the back.
The centrally located kitchen includes a snack bar and an open dining nook that
replaces a formal dining room. Near the front, the den makes a great home
office. Two sinks and a large shower add modern flair to the master suite
upstairs, with the laundry facility nearby. Secondary bedrooms share a full
bath. See more
images, information, and the floor plan.
With its streamlined open layout, this narrow plan makes the
most of every bit of space. An open dining room near the front can also be used
as a study, or perhaps a formal living room if owners are so inclined. In the
main gathering zone, the kitchen’s island will serve as the hub of activity,
with the nook on one side and a direct sightline to the fireplace on another.
The footprint of the home nicely incorporates a patio, which the master bedroom
accesses (note the privacy-preserving foyer shielding this suite from public
view). Upstairs, two sinks add extra utility to the bathroom shared by the secondary
bedrooms. See more
images, information, and the floor plan.
With two levels of outdoor living in front and another in
back (plus a built-in grill area), this lovely home makes it easy to get
outside with family and friends. The downstairs flex room can be used as an
office, library, hobby room, and more. Located on the first floor, the master
suite offers a large bedroom, private foyer, and spacious bathroom. Upstairs,
three secondary bedrooms (one with a private bath, making it ideal for guests)
each offer a walk-in closet. An activity room with a tech corner opens up to
the second-level porch for an elevated view. A detached garage offers parking
space. See more
images, information, and the floor plan.
