Butler

Named for famous local sci-fi writer Octavia Butler, this floor plan is a well-proportioned 1,239 sq. ft. with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The immediately recognizable profile of a Butler is the steel symmetrical gables bookending the front entry porch. The “front” door could either be the double french doors opening into the dining room, or the side-facing door opening into the living room. This home has surprises around every corner as the floor planunfolds in front of you at every step. Each room is thoughtfully arranged to maximize privacy and intrigue. The large galley kitchen gives way to a laundry / mud room before opening to the rear yard. A standard staircase has been added in the middle of the house to take advantage of the Butler’s large attic space.

The Butler offers a thoughtful balance of privacy and shared space, with two bathrooms and a slightly expanded footprint.

This plan is ideal for families or multigenerational households seeking flexibility without sacrificing the charm of a Jane’s Cottage. The layout improves bathroom access while maintaining a cozy, efficient living environment.
