Relatively simple in its layout, traditional house plan Akron is a compact home designed to fit on a narrow lot. But simple doesn't mean mundane. Many of the Akron's features are as appealing to first time home buyers as they are to empty nesters.
Vaulted ceilings expand the sense of spaciousness in both the living room and dining room. Even the entry has a 10 foot ceiling and a transom window above the front door. Tall ceilings and richly windowed walls fill the gathering areas that fill the right side of the floor plan with natural light.
A waist high wall, with columns at either end, divides the dining room from the living room. The space between the columns is bridged by a high shelf. A high arch, stacked with multi paned windows, fills most of the boxed front living room wall.
Another notable feature is a bathroom that can be entered from either the bedroom wing, or from the family room side. An inner door provides added privacy for the toilet and tub.
The dining room is only one of many places to enjoy a meal. A window bright eating bay expands the combination kitchen/family room, and an eating penninsula is handy for snacks and meals on the run. In summer, you could even dine on the deck, accessed by a door near the fireplace.
The Akron's owners' suite features a large walk in closet, a spa tub with glass block wall, and a separately enclosed water closet and shower. A utility room is tucked in the passageway between the garage and house.
It is clear to see that this one story, three bedroom house plan is filled with features sure to be appreciated by many. The combination of formal and informal living spaces and its attached 2 car front load garage make the Akron a well-rounded house plan.
