The 1,444-square-foot Decidedly (335-170) is a small ranch style home with an attractive lap siding exterior. This floor design will fit the needs of young families purchasing their first home and wanting the most value for their building dollar, or empty nesters wishing to downsize their current living accommodations. Easy to maintain and economical to build, the Decidedly could be the house plan for which you have been searching.
The modest entry, with a convenient coat closet, leads into a very generous vaulted living room. With a built-in plant shelf adding a nice touch, this space functions as the main gathering area in the house. Here friends and family can get together to discuss the events of the day or relax while enjoying a favorite television show.Directly facing the living room, in an open design that maximizes the available square footage, are the kitchen and dining room. A skylight brightens the walk-through kitchen that features a pantry and handing eating bar in addition to all the built-in appliances. Having the vaulted dining room adjacent to the kitchen allows the cook in the house to prepare and serve meals without missing any of the lively conversation. A good-sized covered patio is the perfect place to set up the barbecue and invite the whole gang over, no matter what the weather.
The large, vaulted master suite is isolated for complete privacy. Amenities here include a wall-length closet and private bathroom with twin basins and linen storage.
The two bedrooms at the opposite side of the house can serve as guest quarters for those with no children still at home, or one can be used as a home office, exercise room, den, etc. Each has ample closet space and share a skylit bathroom that is in the adjoining hallway.
Completing the floor plan is a big utility room with lots of extra storage space. As an added convenience, the utility room opens into the garage. This arrangement provides a dry path for bringing groceries directly into the house.
