Countless Economies In This Home Design
Countless economies have been built into a small affordable home plan No 5 A 2 aiming to maximize value. The design uses stock framing door and window trim from catalogs to avoid millwork costs, places a recessed fireplace on an interior wall, and offers optional porch to boost economy. Rooms are well sized ventilated and lit with corner placement, with a practical kitchen and efficient flow.
