Cost-effective Craftsman

This sliver of a home can fit into a narrow lot. Accented with shake shingles, paneled doors and a carriage-style garage door, this home resembles a charming fisherman's cottage. Both entrances (from the front and garage doors) lead into the foyer, where a U-shape staircase connects to the upper level. Beyond the entry, the open floor plan includes an L-shape kitchen and a common living and dining room area. Side windows and a set of French doors at the rear add natural light to the living spaces. The second floor has two bedrooms and a master suite with windows that wrap around a bump-out space. To conserve floor space, both bedrooms have dressers built into a recess in the wall. The hall closet houses a stacking washer/dryer unit.
