Narrow Lot House Plans

Narrow lot house plans lend quite well to a craftsman style of home, homes that feature a rear entrance and leave the front to pedestrian entrances. Narrow lot homes can tend to model townhouses or duplexes. Designs for narrow homes attempt to organize features and utilize more space, creating a home in a smaller but more efficiently laid out home.
 
Keep in mind that just because narrow lot homes appear small from a street view, it doesn’t mean that the home itself has to be small. Most designs keep space in mind, utilizing features in a conscious way. By adding on floors or length, any narrow lot home can provide just as much space as another design might.
 
Some designs incorporate as much privacy that can be afforded in a smaller space, working with smarter layouts and features. Designs may feature more floors to offer the same comfort as other designs for other lots. Adding on multiple floors with more bedrooms or family rooms, is a great way to increase square footage while still sticking to a narrow lot plan.
 
Some narrow lot plans might feature daylight basements or basement garages, and feature the majority of living spaces upstairs. Basements could also feature extra hobby rooms or rec rooms, storage and more.
 
Kitchens are most commonly found in L-shaped designs to incorporate the narrow lot goal. L-shaped kitchens are also perfect for adding islands that double as breakfast bars and dining areas, especially if you’re attempting to save space in your floor design.
