Emerson 30-108

	The two-story Emerson is as compact as they come, for a three-bedroom, 2-1/2 bathroom home.
	Not only is it small (1331 square feet), but it also has an absolutely tiny footprint - 24 feet by 32 feet - and is cute to boot. Multipaned windows give the plan a yesteryear charm, while the lattice-crowned porch and end-detailed gables add even more personality.
	Inside, the floorplan is not the least bit old-fashioned. The main floor is totally open, each area flowing naturally into the next. It even has a foyer with coat closet, a feature often missing in small homes.
	Half-walls capped by posts provide a cased opening between the living room and dining room. Atrium doors in the dining room open onto a covered patio. Wide windows span the front and back, and narrow windows break up the remaining outside wall, so the entire family living space is naturally bright.
	A work island adds to the counter space in the kitchen, and a powder room is mere steps away, hidden behind a pocket door. Sink, work island and range cluster together in a tight triangle for maximum efficiency. And the designers made excellent use of what could have been wasted space under the stairs, outfitting it as a walk-in pantry.
	Bedrooms are all on the second level. The owners' suite, with two windows facing the front, has a walk-in closet, a second closet, and a private bathroom with oversized shower. The two other bedrooms share a bathroom with a tub and shower.
	Utilities and linen storage are also upstairs in the Emerson, close to the sources of most dirty laundry.
