Nostalgic Country Design

Standing in the this home's spacious vaulted great room, you might forget that this is a small house. Windows fill most of the rear wall, making this space as bright as it is spacious. Sliding doors open onto a rear deck. Measuring in at about 1,650 square feet of living space, the home's modest size makes it well-suited to the needs of empty-nesters as well as young families. The nostalgic railed porch makes it easy to imagine lazing away a summer afternoon on a porch swing, or stepping out for a breath of fresh air on rainy or snowy nights. This sheltered area could be gated to create a safely contained and sheltered outdoor play area for toddlers or small dogs. Natural light spills into the vaulted entry through a slender sidelight and half-round window near the top of the door. A roomy coat closet is off to the left, and the kitchen is to the right. Counters wrap around four sides of the kitchen, offering abundant work space for a family of cooks. A raised eating bar rims the peninsular counter that bounds the window-rich vaulted nook. Potted plants thrive in this bright space, and the morning light helps ease family members gently into each new day. Laundry utilities are nearby in a pass-through space that links the house to the garage. Cabinets and a counter fill the wall opposite the appliances. Bedrooms cluster together on the left. The master suite has a deep walk-in closet, plus a private bathroom with dual vanity and a large shower. Both of the secondary bedrooms have rectangular window bays that could house window seats, if desired.
