Floor Plan Description
This smart, 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is designed for comfort, convenience, and exceptional
energy efficiency — giving families a warm, comfortable space that’s easier and more
affordable to heat during Ohio’s cold winter months.
At the heart of the home, the open-concept Living Room, Kitchen, and Nook
create a bright, welcoming space perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen
features generous cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and an efficient layout that keeps everything
within reach. The connected dining nook flows into a spacious Family Room,
offering two separate living areas ideal for growing families.
On one side of the home, the private Master Bedroom includes a large
walk-in closet and direct access to a full bath. On the opposite end,
Bedrooms 2 and 3 sit next to a second full bathroom, giving kids or guests
their own quiet space.
A dedicated Utility Room provides room for laundry, storage, and mechanical
components — helping maintain the home’s tight, efficient energy envelope.
Energy-Efficient Features
This layout is designed to perform as well as it lives. The compact footprint, centered
kitchen, and strategically placed bedrooms help maintain consistent indoor temperatures
with less energy loss. With shorter exterior wall runs and modern building methods that
seal out drafts, homeowners enjoy lower utility bills, better heating performance,
and superior comfort all year long.
Whether you’re looking for a warm, cozy place to call home or hoping to reduce your monthly
energy costs, this popular floor plan delivers the perfect blend of
efficient design, practical living space, and long-term savings.
