Orion could be an excellent starter home

The Orion (406-50) is a compact home, uniquely designed with an open floor plan, two-car garage, and many amenities that larger homes have available. This home, with 1,028 square feet of living area, is reminiscent of the homes that many young adults grew up enjoying.

The two-car garage has 588-square-feet with brick facing for decoration. There are four windows, allowing plenty of light to filter into the area. There is a storage area in the rear right corner, a door into the utility room, and a door to the backyard.

The entry to the home is through a covered porch with a railing. This type of porch lends itself to the ranch-style home, which is so popular in many parts of the nation at this time. The vaulted entry has a coat closet across from the door, and the balance of the area is open from front to back. The vaulted living room is to the left of the entry, with three windows providing light to the room.

Beyond the coat closet, with a full built-in shelf overhead, is the nook area, a wonderful corner kitchen in the rear, and a vaulted dining room to the left rear with sliding doors to the back deck. Over the ends of the kitchen cabinets are built-in shelves over the top for displaying those decorative breakables. The range and oven are on an island shared with a raised eating bar. The kitchen along with rest of this open area is vaulted.

The vaulted living room has a built-in entertainment center with a linen closet beyond. Off this same area is a full bath, both for the home and the bedrooms. At the other end of the hall is the utility room with a washer and dryer with cabinets overhead.

There are two bedrooms in this home. Bedroom one is slightly larger than bedroom two. Both have wall closets, but bedroom one has windows on two sides that provide an open, airy look to the room. The Orion would be an excellent home for the retiring couple or a great starter home.
