Bradford is bright, open and expansive

Painted corbels decorate the gable ends on a trio of variously sized gables, drawing eyes to the Bradford. Trim-accented lap siding adds to the appeal. A compact home designed for construction on a narrow lot, this plan is easily adapted for wheelchair accessibility.

Once inside, you find yourself in a vaulted entry. The lofty ceiling here, extending over a high display shelf into the living room, creates a feeling of spaciousness that belies its small size. Shelves lining both sides of the hallway are prime for displaying family photos, mementos and small art objects.

The vaulted great room is bright, open and expansive. Slender windows in the living room area flank the direct vent gas fireplace, and a wide sliding glass door in the dining area offers patio access. It's easy to move meals outside, when the weather is enticing.

Standing at the kitchen range, you face into the great room, across a long raised eating bar. Friends and family members who aren't helping in the kitchen will enjoy sitting here to chat with those who are. During large gatherings, the bar also doubles as a buffet.

Counters and cupboards are in generous supply, including a large walk-in pantry. Utilities are mere steps away, in a passthrough room that connects to the garage. Outfitted with a deep sink, it can also double as a mudroom, ideal for wiping muddy paws or removing dirty foot gear. High display shelves in the great room mark the kitchen boundary as well as the entry to the master suite. Amenities in the Bradford's master suite include: a large walk-in closet, dual vanity, and enclosed shower and water closet.
