Fitting a narrow lot isn’t easy, especially when you’re trying to appeal to home buyers with a variety of different needs and situations. This new house plan manages to squeeze in three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a ton of style with just 1,483 square feet. And unlike a lot of narrow-lot homes, this one is all on one level. That opens it up to those looking to age in place, along with starter-home buyers.

An eye-catching mix of materials creates contemporary curb appeal, along with the shed roof and (as rendered here) an intriguing garage door. The large windows on the right belong to the third bedroom, which would make a light-filled home office for those who telecommute.

The back presents more views. The open living room steps out to the spacious rear porch and also remains visually connected with lots of glass. Homeowners can enjoy the vista from their bedroom, which looks out this way.

Thoughtful storage details abound inside, like the mudroom area on the way in from the garage, as well as linen storage in two different areas. A fireplace adds warm ambience in the vaulted living room. In the primary suite, the private bathroom showcases a double-sink vanity, a walk-in closet, and a shower.
