Livin' large on a small lot This two-story home can fit into a neighborhood with narrow lots or accommodate a hillside home site. The facade's traditional elements, such as porch balustrades, awnings and gable roof line, are given a modern edge when combined with horizontal siding and geometric windows.

The front porch leads into a hall that feeds traffic into a large living room with a fireplace and built-in media center. The living room is open to the kitchen and dining room. Angled dining-room patio doors open to connect with an outdoor patio. Stairs lead to a half bath before continuing up to a landing that connects to the garage.

A U-shaped staircase ascends to the second level, where it joins with a laundry room to divide the bedroom wings. The master suite is one end of the upper level and has a fireplace, deck and walk-in closet. At the other end is a study alcove with built-ins. The secondary bedrooms share an adjacent bath.
