Situating the garage to the front of a house is very economical in two ways. One, it reduces the required lot size; and two, it will help protect the interior from street noise.
Many other characteristics of this narrow lot house plan deserve mention, too. The kitchen has an adjacent breakfast room and a snack bar. The study contains a wet bar, while the nearby owners suite enjoys a lavish bath with a dressing area.
Sliding glass doors in three rooms open to the rear terrace.
