An abundance of windows along the front and back of this two-story house plan lets in lots of light. The home is introduced by cascading gables and a sheltered entry supported by four columns. On the first level, the open floor plan makes for an easy flow among the living room, the dining room and the kitchen. In the kitchen, windows over the double sinks allow the cook to keep tabs on children in the backyard. A half-bath, laundry room, garage and coat closet complete the first floor. Stairs lead to the full basement, which can be finished later. On the second level, three bedrooms share a full bath with a walk-in shower and a separate tub placed at an angle. Don't need a garage?
