a lot of the houses i've looked at recently have been larger houses with four or more bedrooms and lots of other amenities, so i thought it was time to look at smaller houses again. i've found a simple house that i think would be perfect for a person or an older couple with simple needs.
the front door of this house opens into the living room. the living room is rectangular in shape, and the window placement makes me think putting a tv in the corner between the windows would be a good idea. some relaxing chairs could be put in front of the tv, and that would still leave lots of room to access the dining area and the kitchen that are located at the back of the house behind the living room. for a smaller house, i think the kitchen is quite well done. it has a surprising amount of counter space but still has a double basin sink, a stove and a fridge. the kitchen also has a door opening to the back of the house, and near this door there is a closet for the washer and the dryer.
at the front of the house, next to the living room, there is the master bedroom. it has a good sized closet, and long walls along two of the sides that give lots of opportunity for laying out the bed and other furniture. there is another bedroom in the back corner of the house, and it has a closet along one wall. both bedrooms share a bathroom that's located between the smaller bedroom and the closet with the washer and dryer. this bathroom features a sink, a toilet, and a combined tub and shower. just outside the bathroom, near where the kitchen and living room are, there's a small linen closet.
clearly, this is a very simple and minimalistic house. but i think it does the job superbly! i can really see this house being great for an older couple who no longer have the mobility that they had in their youth. the layout of the house makes it easy to get around, and there are no stairs to have to climb. but i think it would be a great house for a single person, too, who doesn't need a lot of space. the second bedroom could even be used as a home office for example, or maybe as a library or a study. regardless, for people with simple needs, this is a simple and efficient house for sure!
