If you ever wished you could keep an eye on which Internet site the kids are browsing, this home, plan epl02451, may be the answer. This family-oriented home plan puts the computer station right next to the kitchen so parents can monitor the kid’s Internet use or be available to help with homework questions. It’s a convenient location for other household tasks, too, like bill paying, storing recipes and keeping up on correspondence.
In contrast to the modern design of the interior, the exterior is reminiscent of more traditional homes. The front of this 1,845-square-foot, Southern-style home has a classic 8-foot columned wraparound porch to encourage neighborliness.
Other amenities include a whirlpool tub and his and her vanities in the master suite, a rear grilling porch and a gas fireplace in the large great room. A double bedroom area with connecting full bath is ideal for kids of all ages. The home has 9-foot ceilings throughout and 8-foot ceilings in the optional bonus area on the upper level.
The bonus space could make a game room or another private suite and would add an additional 1,191 square feet of living space.
The home has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a rear-loading garage that opens to an alley.
Designed for a lot 50 to 60 feet wide, it’s suited for either urban infill or suburban neighborhoods.
The national average cost to build is $200,000 to $250,000.
This plan, epl02451, is available from eplans.com for $520 for a set of four blueprints.
