A railed and covered wraparound porch adds charm to the ranch-style Dahlia, a home as compact and efficient as it is attractive.
Wide bay windows overarched by another window set high in the front wall under the gabled arch give a bright, open feel to the vaulted living room.
While an informal eating area at one end of the family room is small, the family room is large enough to accommodate a long table when more seating is required.
The eating bar does double duty as a buffet. The range opposite allows direct service from stovetop to plates. Despite its small size, the kitchen has ample cabinet and counter space and is augmented by a large pantry.
The master suite has a double walk-in closet and an oversized tub, which could just as easily be a spa, in its own cubicle. The room has access to the deck, which stretches along the entire back of the house.
The large family room could also have a fireplace situated on the right wall, adjacent to the master suite, and would offer the option of using the same chimney and adding a fireplace to the master suite as well.
Utilities, including extra counter space, two walls of storage cabinets, and a utility sink are close to the bedrooms and the kitchen. There is room in the garage for a small shop along with plenty of storage space.
