Narrow home plans are becoming more and more popular in urban areas and high density suburban developments (because let’s face it, land is expensive, especially in these densely developed areas) – making the most of minimal building sites. These slim shallow lot house plans range in style from simple Craftsman bungalows to charming cottages (and even ultra-sleek contemporary house plans). Narrow home plans make an efficient use of available space, often building up instead of out, to provide the home buyer with the amenities they desire without an expensive footprint. Designed with open and spacious floor plans, these shallow lot house plans make the most of their narrow width. These narrow home plans are sure to catch your client’s eye.
