Bantam (408-41)

The 1,899-square-foot Bantam (408-41) is the ideal home for a narrow or elongated lot. This two-story house contains three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It does not have a garage, but if the lot is deep enough or pie-shaped, a detached garage could be added.

The Bantam has two covered decks and a covered porch. The entry faces the kitchen with the living room on the right and the dinette on the left. The living/dining room is very large and has patio doors opening to the side deck.

The U-shaped kitchen contains a garden window over the sink and a large amount of kitchen counters. The dinette has built-in seats around a sleeve-shaped table.

Adjacent to the dinette are the stairs up to the second floor or down to the basement. Across the hall, you will find the main bathroom and the master suite. Through a pocket door, the master suite's walk-in closet contains the forced air unit and the water heater. The master suite itself is very large with a door opening to the rear deck area.

The second floor has two large bedrooms with a study center and a bathroom in between.

Both bedrooms contain large wall closets and two skylights in the sloped ceilings. There is a storage closet across from the bath, which has a large linen closet.

The study center is great for all ages, as it has two work areas and an abundance of workspace. There are over-the-counter cabinets to store paper and supplies.

The optional plan for the basement would provide an extra 1,070 square feet. This area could be left unfinished or used as a family room/recreation room.

The clean look of the Bantam creates a great home, and its narrow shape makes it ideal for many of the new lots. With its many skylights and the dormer over the stair area, it will be a bright, cheerful home full of sunlight and openness.
