      View from the kitchen toward the front of the house. A full-length sofa allows total relaxation. Built-in shelves ensure that even though a large chunk of the wall is taken up by windows, there is still plenty of space for all your items.

      The view from the front door reveals almost the entire home at a glance. The relatively large size of this home means a stylish and large fridge can live here, too.
