Watson 8538 is a traditional two-story home featuring 1,699 sq ft of heated living space, designed for a 40 ft wide by 47 ft 8 in deep building footprint. This cottage-style residence prioritizes a compact, efficient layout that maximizes interior volume through 9-foot ceilings on the main level and an 8-foot ceiling height on the second floor, reaching a maximum building height of 29 ft.
The main level encompasses 1,268 sq ft, anchored by a central kitchen equipped with an island and a walk-in pantry. A dedicated keeping room serves as a secondary living area, complete with a fireplace, while a separate den provides a quiet space for a home office. The primary suite is positioned on the first floor, ensuring direct access to the main living area, alongside a half bathroom for guest use and a laundry room that handles service-oriented tasks.
The upper level offers 431 sq ft of space, containing two secondary bedrooms and a shared full bathroom. This configuration separates the sleeping quarters from the primary living zones, providing a buffer for residents and guests. The structure is built with an 8:12 roof pitch, contributing to a classic exterior profile and vertical clearance within the upper-level rooms.
Practicality is supported by a 415 sq ft front-load 2-car garage that provides direct interior access. The design includes a covered front porch that adds depth to the facade while protecting the entryway. The home is set on an unfinished basement foundation, allowing for future expansion or additional storage needs as required.
