Slender, stylish Blanchard includes home office
If you're looking for a small home that has enough space for an office, check out the Blanchard. A room that could be a home office is just inside the foyer.
This two-story, three-bedroom, three-bathroom plan has a slender footprint, so it still fits neatly on a narrow lot. Multipaned windows and brick veneer columns create a traditional yet contemporary look. Sidelights to the left of the door echo the grid pattern seen in the windows and garage door.
Double doors on the right side of the vaulted foyer open into the office/den. Stairs and a hallway are on the left, and straight ahead is the vaulted great room where windows fill most of the rear wall. A gas fireplace fills the left-hand corner next to the windows. One set of wide windows slides open to access a covered patio, ideal for catching summer breezes or enjoying outdoor meals.
The living room flows into the dining room, which is partially open to the kitchen. Counters wrap around most of four sides of the Blanchard's kitchen, so there's plenty of room to accommodate several projects or cooks at the same time. Cupboards are also in good supply, including a pantry tucked into one corner. Standing at the kitchen stove, you can look out into the great room over the half wall in front of you.
On the foyer's left, laundry appliances are down a hallway, which links to a powder room, the owners' suite, and the garage as well. The bathroom in the owners' suite has two sections. A dual lav and walk-in closet are closest to the sleeping area. Toilet and shower can be enclosed by a pocket door.
