The home measures approximately 41 feet wide by 25 feet deep, making it an excellent option for homeowners looking for a practical small house design that can fit comfortably on a variety of residential lots.

One of the standout features of this home is its spacious 152 sq. ft. screened porch, measuring 15′-0″ × 10′-0″.

Inside, the home features a welcoming 160 sq. ft. living room, measuring 9′-2″ × 14′-8″. The living area connects directly with the home’s 166 sq. ft. kitchen, creating an open and social arrangement that makes the home feel larger and more connected.

The kitchen measures 12′-9″ × 14′-8″ and provides generous room for cabinetry, appliances, food preparation, and casual dining. A dedicated 22 sq. ft. pantry, measuring 5′-0″ × 4′-4″, adds valuable storage space while keeping the kitchen organized.

The main entry measures 44 sq. ft., with a convenient 5 sq. ft. coat closet nearby for everyday storage.

Everyday household functions are carefully organized with a dedicated 22 sq. ft. laundry room, measuring 5′-0″ × 4′-4″, along with a 15 sq. ft. utility room, measuring 3′-6″ × 4′-4″.

This efficient arrangement helps keep mechanical and laundry functions tucked away while preserving the open feel of the primary living spaces.

The home includes a 39 sq. ft. front porch, measuring 8′-0″ × 4′-8″, and the generously sized 152 sq. ft. screened porch.

The rendered design showcases warm wood-style exterior finishes, multiple gable roof elements, large windows, natural landscaping, and a welcoming residential character that works particularly well for countryside, suburban, vacation, and retreat settings.
