The Boston house plan is a two-story residence engineered for narrow lots, measuring 19 feet 8 inches in width and 68 feet 6 inches in depth. Spanning 1,548 square feet of total heated living area, this design maximizes site density while providing a distinct separation between private and public zones. The exterior profile features a maximum building height of 25 feet 6 inches, utilizing a combination of 1:12 and 5:12 roof pitches to maintain a low-profile silhouette suitable for urban infill.
The first floor encompasses 1,005 square feet, anchored by an open-concept great room that flows into the kitchen and dining areas. A 10-foot ceiling height throughout this level increases the perceived volume of the interior. The primary suite is located on the main level, providing direct access to the living core, while a half-bathroom serves as a guest powder room. The kitchen includes a central island and a breakfast nook, creating a focal point for daily activity.
The second level adds 543 square feet of living space, featuring two secondary bedrooms and a full bathroom. With 9-foot ceiling heights, the upper level maintains a comfortable scale for residents. The inclusion of a 74-square-foot bonus area provides additional storage or utility space, while the 418-square-foot garage apartment, positioned above the 2-car rear-entry garage, serves as a self-contained in-law suite or rental unit.
Construction specifications include a slab foundation and stick-framed roof assembly. Exterior amenities are distributed across 146 square feet of total porch space, comprising a 68-square-foot front porch and a 78-square-foot rear porch, alongside a second-story balcony.
