This Craftsman home combines space, comfort and curb appeal. Large covered entryways, exposed eave rafters and a dynamic foot print are some of the features of the Craftsman style. This design captures these elements and also incorporates some modern upgrades such as a standing seam metal roof and fiber cement siding panels. The back side of the Simple Craftsman has a large deck with contours as unique as the house it attaches to. This variation creates separate zones of use. The deck off the kitchen and dining area is great for outdoor entertaining. The deck off the mud room provides a convenient entry into the rear of the home. The covered patio off the living room is a private space that is great for sitting or reading. The placement of the living room and master suite near the front entrance subtly separates them from the more busy rooms of the house such as the kitchen, dining area and rear patio. This division creates amazing flexibility that easy accommodates both casual parties with friends and formal holiday dinners. The kitchen provides ample space for the whole family to cook dinner together or grab breakfast piecemeal during the busy morning. The kitchen island provides a social center point. The French doors let great natural lighting flood the room during the day, while the light cove above the cabinets provides ample light for evening. There is also ample pantry storage space built into the wall next to the island. The second floor hosts a neat well organized space with 2 modestly sized bedrooms, generous laundry room and a large bath room.

What's Included In This Plan Set
House plans created for Green Living give our customers design options that meet or exceed existing energy standards, while giving options in the realm of cost, style, and environmental commitment. As an example, all Green Living homes are designed to perform 30% to 50% better than prescriptive building code energy performance. The level of home performance depends on the products that you choose.
Each Green Living house plan includes:
- LEED for Homes Rating System: Guidelines to meet LEED for Homes certification levels of: Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. LEED for Homes is a national, voluntary certification system, developed by national experts and experienced builders, that promotes the design and construction of high-performance green homes and encourages the adoption of sustainable practices by the homebuilding industry. The LEED for Homes Rating System is part of the suite of nationally recognized LEED Green Building Rating Systems administered by USGBC. Like all LEED Rating Systems, it is the market's leadership system, targeting the top 25% of home building practices in terms of environmental responsibility. LEED provides industry resources and tools on how to "green" any new home. With LEED, homebuilders can differentiate their structures as meeting the highest performance measures, and homebuyers can readily identify high quality green homes. LEED provides national consistency in defining the features of a green home, enables builders anywhere in the country to obtain a green rating on their homes, and assures homebuyers of the quality of their purchases, all based on a recognized national brand. Learn more about the LEED® Rating System here.
- Window shading details: External window shading devices are an effective method for reducing heat gains through windows during Summer. In fact, external shading devices can reduce heat gains by up to 80% if sized and built properly. With this in mind, the founders of Green Living, formerly Free Green, created this page to assist home builders in constructing effective window shading devices. The information we provide includes a zoning map of the United States, zoning charts for proper sizing of shading devices and a variety of shading device styles and materials to suite different tastes and different home designs.
