Home plan: Small Craftsman lives large

With 1,544 square feet, this design proves that smaller homes can still include elegant style and amenities. Gables, trusses and a large front porch create curb appeal. The efficient kitchen has room for guests to hang out at the snack counter. A cathedral ceiling adds a feeling of volume and spaciousness in the great room, which steps out to a deck. The master suite showcases a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets, dual sinks, shower and soaking tub. The two-car garage includes extra storage and opens to the side to keep the focus on the front entry.
