Compact Greer is warm, woodsy and welcoming

Distinctive cedar battens and trim accent the Greer's wooden siding, giving a clean-lined, woodsy look to this compact home. The slender sidelight and porch support post both echo and complement the vertical line theme, which neatly frames the grid work doors.

This compact, three-bedroom, two-bathroom plan fits neatly on a narrow lot, and is as economical to build as it is to maintain. It's an ideal size for a couple, young family, empty nesters, or a single person who wants a home office as well as a guest room. If needed, it could be easily adapted for wheelchair accessibility.

Family living areas flow together in one bright, expansive space that fills the entire right side; bedrooms, bathrooms, and a laundry alcove fill the left. A coat closet is on the right side of the entry, opposite a door providing direct access to the garage.

Natural light is abundant throughout. It washes into the living and dining areas through wide windows, and into the kitchen through a smaller window that fronts the sink.

A raised eating bar marks the boundary between the kitchen and dining area. Family and friends will enjoy hanging out here, whether snacking or just conversing with those working in the kitchen. The kitchen's ample counter and cupboard spaces include a step-in pantry.

The Greer's master suite boasts a walk-in closet and oversized shower. Windows face the rear, offering added privacy along with a pleasant view of the back yard.

The side bedrooms share another bathroom, which is outfitted with a combination tub and shower. The laundry appliances that hide behind accordion doors in the hallway are conveniently close to bedrooms and bathrooms.
