What matters most today to those home buyers who would choose to cut square footage for the sake of affordability? Not a big office or dining room, according to this illuminating NAHB study. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the kitchen and closet space are treasured more.
Here's a new modern house plan that aligns nicely with those priorities and sports a surprisingly simple footprint measuring 50 feet by 57 feet and with 1,944 square feet all on one floor.
On the exterior, bold contemporary styling creates striking curb appeal. The one-car garage faces the front.
Outdoor living takes center stage in back, with a large porch that opens easily to the main living spaces.
Inside, the choice to make each bedroom a suite adds quite a bit of versatility. Live-in relatives, adult children, and frequent guests will appreciate the extra privacy. The primary suite also boasts a walk-in closet.
The kitchen flows into the open living and dining areas. Nearby, a small pocket office provides a place to take occasional meetings from home without eating up too much square footage.
