With 1,661 sq. ft. of living space, this single-story cottage-style home is designed for narrow lots and features three bedrooms and two bathrooms. A rear garage provides convenient parking and storage without taking up front-facing space.
Bungalow-style home with teal exterior and inviting front porch .. can you believe this narrow facade hides 1,661 sq. ft. behind it?
You’re looking at the bungalow architectural style, popular in the early 20th century. The prominent front porch with tapered columns and a wide staircase is a defining feature of the bungalow design, creating an inviting transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. The low-pitched hipped roof with overhanging eaves and the compact, efficient layout are also characteristic elements of the style.
Main level floor plan .. no wasted space despite the narrow layout
A covered patio leads directly into the dining area, connecting the indoors and outdoors. Bedrooms are positioned strategically alongside shared spaces like the kitchen and living area, maximizing the layout’s utility despite the home’s compact size.

Front porch with brick flooring and green siding .. a lot is going on, but in a good way
A welcoming front porch features rustic brick flooring and vibrant green siding with white trim. Large windows with shutters and a hanging lantern leave no doubt about the classic design approach here. While the mix of brick flooring and bright green siding may seem overwhelming to some, I think it adds character to the front porch.
Entryway with double doors and green walls .. consistent wooden flooring throughout
Here’s a space that breathes easily, which isn’t easy to find in a 1,661 sq. ft. home. Double doors with a classic white finish lead into this inviting room with deep green walls. The dark wooden flooring contrasts with the white crown molding, creating a bold transition to the adjacent spaces.
Open living area with rich wooden floors and ceiling fan
An expansive living area has dark hardwood floors illuminated by natural light streaming through large windows. A ceiling fan and recessed lighting keep the ceiling lowkey, while salmon-pink walls steal the eye.
Modern kitchen with white cabinetry and granite countertops .. a bit too monotonous for my taste
Nothing special about the kitchen here—I’d have preferred more distinctive elements. It features pristine white cabinets paired with speckled granite countertops. Stainless steel appliances, including a prominent refrigerator and stove, make the space functional.
Close-up of the kitchen island with ample storage and countertop space
An inviting kitchen island with matching granite countertops offers additional workspace and storage in the kitchen. Adjacent white cabinets and a stainless steel dishwasher provide practicality and style to the room. However, the lack of color accents makes the space feel somewhat bland.
Master bedroom with ceiling fan and two windows for optimum climate control .. entry to en-suite bathroom visible here
On the right wall of the master bedroom, two large windows let in natural light, illuminating the warm beige walls and dark hardwood floors. A ceiling fan adds functionality and a door leads to an en-suite bathroom.
Tastefully designed bath area with bathtub and shower
A freestanding bathtub and an adjacent marble-tiled shower meet in the master bathroom. A small window above provides soft natural light, but it doesn’t make the bathtub look any less cramped. I’ll admit it, though, this is the only approach to maximize space use in this bathroom.
A different view of the bathroom focusing on the dual sinks .. walk-in closet door right there
Facing the bath area, there are dual sinks with granite countertops. Dark hardware and framed mirrors bring a cohesive look to the space.
Well-organized laundry room with storage cabinets and a window for ventilation
A practical laundry room is designed with ample upper cabinets and countertops, perfect for additional storage. A large window offers natural light, making the space more inviting for chores.
Back patio with ceiling fan and teal siding .. a dining set would make it a lot more inviting
The back patio is cozy yet simple, with teal siding and a ceiling fan offering comfort on warm days. Concrete flooring contrasts with the vibrant walls, providing a durable and practical outdoor space. With a dining set and maybe a couple of potted plants, the patio will look much more inviting.
