If your clients want single-story living without downsizing too much (or at all), here's a striking home design. See interior views at Houseplans.com.

On the exterior, sleek prairie-influenced details like the hipped roof feel both timeless and contemporary. The two-car garage faces the side, with a window enlivening the front.

Inside, each of the three bedrooms gets its own private bathroom. That means that guests or family members (perhaps a grown child) can enjoy privacy. A study stands ready for hobbies or work.

The great room flows outside to the covered lanai, where a fireplace and outdoor kitchen create memorable evenings. Other highlights include the main suite's impressive bathroom and wine storage near the open dining room.
