Flames in the fireplace of this shingle-style home’s spacious great room serve as a colorful and comforting focal point on dreary days and dark nights. The kitchen is open to the great room across a long conversation bar, and to the dining area across a shorter eating bar. Sliding glass door access in the dining room offers direct access to a covered patio.

The exterior of this compact shingle-style home exudes nostalgic appeal, while the interior is totally contemporary. In the linked family gathering areas, light spills into the living and dining rooms through wide windows, and both are open to the kitchen. The owners’ suite boasts a good-sized walk-in closet and a private bathroom.

Linked gathering spaces, awash with natural light, fill the core of this single-level shingle-style home plan with plenty of room to spread out. Standing at the kitchen sink or cook-top range, you can keep an eye on the gathering areas, both inside and out. Warmth and flames from the two-sided fireplace can be enjoyed from both the den and the great room.
