Garner 2 is a two-story Craftsman home engineered for narrow lots, occupying a 34-foot wide by 42-foot deep footprint. With a total of 1,666 sq ft of heated living space, this plan prioritizes vertical efficiency and interior density to accommodate smaller urban or suburban plots. The exterior is defined by a 12:12 roof pitch and a 48 sq ft covered front porch, establishing a classic profile that maximizes curb appeal within restricted site dimensions.
The main level encompasses 852 sq ft, organized around a central keeping room and family room that transition into a dedicated dining area and breakfast nook. The kitchen layout incorporates an elevated bar, creating a clear visual boundary while maintaining circulation. A half bathroom is positioned on this level to serve common areas, ensuring that the primary living zones remain distinct from the private quarters located above.
Occupying 814 sq ft, the second floor contains a cluster of 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The primary suite features a private bath and walk-in closet, separated from the secondary bedrooms to maintain privacy. An upstairs laundry room eliminates the need for carrying loads between levels. Additionally, a 188 sq ft unfinished bonus room provides flexible space for a home office, media room, or fitness area, allowing for future expansion within the existing roofline.
Constructed with stick framing and a slab or crawlspace foundation, the home achieves a maximum building height of 30 feet 2 inches. The first floor features 9-foot ceilings, which contribute to the perception of volume, while the second floor is designed with 8-foot ceilings to optimize thermal efficiency and structural integrity. The exterior utilizes durable siding materials consistent with traditional Craftsman design standards.
A 264 sq ft front-load 1-car garage is integrated into the structure, ensuring minimal lot coverage while providing secure vehicle storage and direct interior access. This configuration allows the home to maintain a narrow 34-foot width without sacrificing accessibility or storage capacity, making it an efficient solution for restricted lot sizes.
