This compact contemporary ranch delivers about 1,096 sq ft of efficient one-story living. It features two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an expansive vaulted living area that opens from front porch to fireplace—designed for bright, airy comfort.
Exterior & Curb Appeal
The façade is anchored by an 8‑ft‑deep front porch and symmetrical gables under a vaulted front living zone. Clean siding and straightforward proportions give a fresh, modern appeal in a modest footprint.
Porches & Outdoor Living
A generous front porch spans approximately 240 sq ft, and a rear covered porch of similar size mirrors it—creating nearly 480 sq ft of sheltered outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining.
Interior Layout & Flow
Inside, an open vaulted living zone extends across the front of the home—from kitchen to fireplace—with ceiling height around 13 ft. The layout offers visual and physical connection throughout, ideal for simplified daily living.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Two bedrooms line the rear of the home. Each is separated by full bathrooms for greater privacy, making this layout ideal for couples or shared living situations.
Storage & Utility Areas
The laundry and pantry are integrated into the mudroom space off the garage entrance. Bedroom closets and kitchen storage are well-designed for compact efficiency.
