Kensington is a traditional ranch-style home encompassing 1,556 square feet of heated living area. Designed for a 40-foot wide lot with a depth of 58'6", this single-story structure prioritizes accessibility and efficient circulation. The exterior features a 110-square-foot covered front porch and an 80-square-foot rear porch, providing dedicated outdoor transitions that define the home's primary axis.
The interior layout centers on an open-concept core that connects the kitchen to a formal dining area, facilitating direct sightlines throughout the main living zone. A walk-in pantry provides centralized storage, while the split-bedroom floor plan ensures acoustic and physical separation between the primary suite and the two secondary bedrooms. Further enhancing the floor plan, the laundry room is positioned with direct access from the master closet, streamlining daily routines.
Construction specifications include a slab foundation and 2x4 wall framing, supporting a durable 6:12 roof pitch. The total building height is capped at 19'6", maintaining a modest vertical profile that complements the traditional country aesthetic. The structural design emphasizes a clean, simplified footprint that minimizes unnecessary circulation space.
Practicality is addressed through the integration of a 440-square-foot, 2-car front-load garage. A dedicated mudroom serves as a transition point between the garage and the interior, capturing utility and organization needs at the entry. This configuration optimizes the 1,556 square feet by separating service-oriented tasks from the primary living areas.
