Small House Plan with Wrap Around Porch, 1176 Sq Ft, 2 Beds and 2 Baths One Story A-Frame House Plan 85129 has 1,176 square feet of living space, 2 bedrooms, and 2 full bathrooms. The a-frame roof reaches a height of 23 feet 8 inches from the front door level. Consequently, you get the look of an a-frame without the difficulty of a dramatically pitched roof. Buyers will choose this home because of the wonderful wraparound covered front porch. Homeowners will enjoy lots of space for outdoor enjoyment with the 10' deep area in the porch. One Story A-Frame House Plan for a Small Lot One Story A-Frame House Plan 85129 is a small house plan with great features. Firstly, the overall size makes this home a good fit for a small or narrow lot. The exterior dimensions are 36' wide by 42' deep. Orient this home with the deepest part of the porch facing the best view. Some homeowners will choose to build with this home facing the lake or a golf course. Large windows in the great room promise a good view even when you're inside the home. Secondly, the living space layout is well-designed. For example, notice how the kitchen is centrally-located in the floor plan. The kitchen has a bar counter that leaves the whole space visually open to the rest of the living space. Plus, extra storage is available in the pantry closet. Thirdly, the home includes a good-sized laundry room and a separate mud room. Enter through the back door and land in the mud room which is complete with a bench and hooks so you have a place to leave your coats. Continue into the laundry room which includes a utility sink for soaking muddy clothes. 2 Bedroom 2 Bathroom House Plan 2 bedrooms is the perfect number for a small home plan. Families in many stages of life will choose a 2 bedroom home plan. For example, a young couple without children may build this home and then rent it out when their family starts to grow. Years later, they may want to use it for a vacation home or move back in when it's time to downsize. The master suite has a nice layout with one wall of closet space and an ensuite with very large walk-in shower and double vanity.  Bedroom number 2 has access to the full guest bathroom, so it's great for an office or guest room. For parents who have a young child, they can easily get to bedroom 2 because of the 2nd pocket door that opens from their ensuite into the hallway. In conclusion, One Story A-Frame House Plan 85129 is a versatile plan that will be enjoyed for a lifetime.

The Hutchinson House 1903 (rear view) Ypsilanti, MI I love the "Queen Anne" style homes and one of my friends on facebook loves the "Victorians". I thought Queen Anne homes were Victorians and indeed they are from Queen Victoria's time. But they have much more history and I thought I'd share some of that with you today.. The Hutchinson House is in Ypsilanti Michigan and has quite a story behind that building as well. I once worked there and I actually held a candle party in it! The party was quite successful as the invitees bought candles just so they could visit the home. Good idea. 1899 Queen Anne Asheville NC What is the Difference between Queen Anne and Victorian houses? A Queen Anne home -- one of many styles classified under the broad heading of Victorian -- was built primarily during the latter part of Queen Victoria's reign from 1870 to 1910. As the last Presbyterian Stuart who held the throne, Queen Anne reigned 135 years before Queen Victoria. Even though a well-known furniture style that developed during her reign has her name, it would be more than 150 years before she had an architectural style named after her. The decor style is specifically known for its complex, ornamental curvilinear turrets and towers, and steeply pitched roofs. Eureka California The home most people think of when they imagine or see a Victorian home is actually a Queen Anne home. Typically outfitted with a turret or tower, the home often has wrap-around porches and is made from brick, wood or stone, many with clapboard siding. The Queen Anne style is known for its graceful curves and paneled insets. Look for angled bay windows, steeply pitched roofs with finials, stained glass, and handcrafted chimneys. Asymmetry. Towers, turrets, bays, porches, and roofline break the box. Roofs and massing are often complex. Texture. Surfaces are broken by a switch from stone or clapboard to shingles, often with fancy-cut butts. Belt courses, gable ornament, turnings, brackets, balustrades, and sawn-wood “gingerbread” keep it interesting. (Polychrome painting plays up surface texture even more.) Wood trim. Sawn, chamfered, carved, lathe-turned, and applied ornament is used on porches, gables, cornices, and story breaks. Other features include patterned shingles, decorative trim, and intricate spindles, banisters and staircases. Queen Anne homes have a storybook quality to them. Choosing Queen Anne/Victorian paint colors The History of Queen Anne, Victorian-Architecture Style Despite roots in the English “Queen Anne Movement”—a return to early, vernacular architecture—it is here a peculiarly American style in its mass-produced ornamentation (including “gingerbread”) and lavish use of wood. The Northeast, already heavily populated in the 1880s, has comparatively fewer examples that you might expect. Go south and west, however, and the style becomes more popular and more fanciful. The West Coast and resurgent areas of the New South have the most dizzying examples.

A Craftsman-style home is worthy of a paint color as rich and varied as its architectural elements.
