This 1,803 sq. ft. Craftsman-style design featuring cedar shake siding and stone accents includes 2 to 4 bedrooms. The single-story home (two if you count the basement) includes notable elements like cathedral ceilings, an open-concept kitchen and great room, and spacious outdoor decks and covered patio.
It’s Not a Fancy House Nor Is it a Big House But I Slot It In as an Attractive House
The nuanced and carefully chosen exterior colors and materials elevate the curb appeal of this home. The Green garage door matching the green front door and window trim offers a sound contrast to the more neutral shingle siding. It’s this contrast and of course the shingle siding, which I love, that make this home’s exterior shine.
Main Level Floor Plan – Reveals the Rare Layout
I study home layouts daily so you may not have noticed the rarity I’m talking about. You might find it uneventful but it is different. What I’m talking about is the secondary bedroom is at the front of the house. It’s rare for a secondary bedroom to take up that spot in a home. The rest of the layout is decent with the popular great room build. The optional basement (next) adds plenty of livable space.

The lower level floor plan showcases a well-organized layout, emphasizing functionality throughout. Upon entry, the layout features a staircase leading up to a covered patio, enhancing accessibility. The family room, measuring 17 by 15 feet, provides a spacious area for gatherings. Two bedrooms offer convenient access to a bathroom, while the recreation room, connected to a wet bar, invites leisure activities. Additional storage and a bench/locker space further maximize the lower level’s usability.
