Traditional Plan 048-00003

This beautifully designed small house plan features a traditional exterior with visually pleasing design elements resulting in a timeless and historical quality. Reminiscent of classic Louisiana style of architecture this home possesses charming and imaginative design details. The sweeping wraparound porch is highlighted with an abundance of columned beams, floor-to-ceiling windows and shutters to match. The hip roof is simple in construction and adds an element of drama when combined with the remaining front exterior. The centrally located walk-up front staircase adds symmetry and balance to the entire structure and grounds the home nicely. The home’s interior features approximately 848 square feet of interior space incorporating an open floor plan, one bedroom and one bath. With its one bedroom and one bath, this house plan is perfect for the creative individual, the young professional couple or it could be utilized as a vacation home. Ideally designed for a narrow and/or small urban property lot, the respective width and depth dimensions are 40’ and 34’. The residence is entered from the front covered porch into the open living concept where a large living and dining space is found. This space features window views from three sides of the home onto the wraparound porch allowing for a sunlit and comfortable space for entertaining and relaxing. With the ability to “spill” onto the wraparound porch while entertaining family and friends, the home’s interior living space is transformed into a much larger space. Built-in bookcases line the rear wall of the common rooms and the U-shaped kitchen is situated directly off and open to the living/dining space. The kitchen features window views over the double sink as well as a third window view while incorporating all the modern conveniences found in larger homes.

The bedroom suite is truly luxurious and offers abundance space for relaxing, sleeping and enormous storage options. The bedroom, itself, is large with double window views onto the rear yard and double door entrances into the bedroom. The bathroom features vanity space, a toilet area and a corner shower along with double entrances; one from the bedroom and the other off the wraparound porch. The features allow for the maintenance of a tidy home by offering an alternative entrance after working in the yard, going for a run or just a quick trip to the bathroom while entertaining or relaxing on the porch. Flanking the bedroom are two walk-in closets; both are similar sized, great for clothing, shoes and assorted other storage items and one of the closets contains an area for a stackable washer and dryer. This small house plan, while compact, offers great entertaining space which encompasses both the interior and exterior of the home, an efficient layout and an exciting and bold exterior.
