Narrow Lot Alton Design is Abundant in Natural Light

Brick veneer covers the Alton’s entry columns, counterpoint to the gently arched porch opening. Brick veneer wainscoting also underscores the lap siding of this contemporary ranch-style house plan ideal for a narrow building lot. A rambling family open space fills most of the right side. The entry hallway leads directly into the kitchen. A flush eating bar rims the large work island, while cupboards, counters and appliances wrap around two walls. A deep walk-in pantry is across the room.

Natural light spills into the gathering spaces through a generous array of windows. The one in front of the kitchen sink makes cleanup more pleasurable.

Light flows into the dining area and great room through matching trios of glass, an atrium door, and several smaller windows. The atrium door opens onto a partially covered patio. Nestled into a corner across the room, is a gas fireplace.

An arched opening along the left wall of the great room leads past a storage closet to a two-section bathroom flanked by two bedrooms. The rear bedroom has a direct bathroom entry, and a roomy walk-in closet. Two additional storage closets are outside the bathroom.

Access to the owners’ suite is through an arched opening on the left of the entry hall. Double doors next to it open into a room that could be a den, or home office. Suite features include an extra-large walk-in closet, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower, double vanity and private toilet.

Entering via the two-car garage, you pass by a powder room, utility room, and coat closet, before feeding into the main entry hallway.
