Manchester

A smart way to leave a small footprint on your home’s priceless property is by building up, not out – and the three-story Manchester plan does just that. A simple square-style design, the home features ample space for gathering in the kitchen, living area and downstairs family room, while still providing three private bedrooms for family members or guests. Plus, the master suite is located in its own second-level loft space, looking out over the open living area below and through the home’s sprawling back windows. And if that wasn’t enough, the exterior aesthetics of the plan, such as the mix of log and stone and the deep roof overhangs, keep the house simple yet visually appealing at the same time.
