The Tralee is a small single-level home that doesn’t feel the least bit cramped inside.
Half-circle trim nestles under front-facing gables. Palladian-style garage door windows echo this eye-catching detail.
This single-level plan is well suited to the needs of singles, empty nesters and families with young children.
The front porch isn’t large, but if you like porch swings, there’s room for one. Passing through the front door, you enter a huge open room with a high vaulted ceiling. Entry, living room, dining room and kitchen flow together, and skylights and windows light up the space.
Wide expanses of glass in the living room offer views in three directions. Windows flank a brick or tile-hearthed fireplace creating a bright, attractive environment. A wide multipaned window provides a view of the street and another large window in the back lets you gaze across the deck to the yard.
An L-shaped island in the kitchen adds cupboard and counter space and doubles as an eating bar. Counter space is generous enough for two or more cooks to work together. The dishwasher is raised to ease back strain. A garden window in front of the sink provides yet another view of the backyard.
A walk-in pantry and the linen closet are large for a home this size.
The utility room is outfitted with cabinets, counters, a fold-down ironing board and a deep sink. The utility room is accessible to the garage, which also has basement stairs and a long workbench.
