Although this Craftsman-style foursquare may have a traditional exterior, the interior boasts a thoroughly modern open floor plan with a two-story great room and dining room. A fireplace and built-in media center create a focal point and plant shelves define and decorate overhead space. The sink peninsula in the efficient U-shaped kitchen includes base cabinets only, which allows the kitchen to open to surrounding rooms. On the second floor, three bedrooms and two bathrooms flow off a central hall. The master suite is designed with angled walls, a walk-in closet and a bathroom with a double vanity and private balcony. With its narrow design and rear-facing garage, this plan would be suitable for an established neighborhood with back-alley access. LYNN UNDERWOOD
