The final featured homes of 2020 have some of the most surprises given their modest square footage. We have saved some of the best for last with these two designs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without further ado, feast your eyes on our December 2020 featured homes: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/plan\/the-raven-5345\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Raven<\/a> (THD-5345) and its sister plan, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/plan\/the-elmwood-7298\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Elmwood<\/a> (THD-7298). Both of these plans have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/modern-house-plans\/\">a modern style<\/a> that makes a statement. They share some things in common, but these designs each have their own unique appeal, too. And just like with all of our featured homes, we have some top-notch product suggestions to show! If you have any questions about our December 2020 featured homes or the home search in general, feel free to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\">let us know<\/a>. We are always happy to help make your dream home a reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Raven: THD-5345<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/images\/plans\/DDA\/bulk\/5345\/5345_Front_3-2-20.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/plan\/the-raven-5345\/\" target=\"_blank\">House Plan 5345 <\/a><br>1,603 Square Foot, 3 Bed, 2.1 Bath Small Modern Home with a Garage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Efficiency and affordability are the name of the game with The Raven and The Elmwood. Both of these homes offer layouts with enough space for a new or growing family, all neatly packed within a rectangular footprint. They also provide striking style sure to stand out on the street! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/images\/plans\/DDA\/bulk\/5345\/5345_Rear_3-2-20.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\"\/><figcaption>Rear View Showing the Balcony of THD-5345<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of the two December 2020 featured homes, The Raven has a bit more space. This plan offers about 50 more square feet of living area as well as a fully enclosed 2-car garage. Inside, you&#8217;ll enjoy 2 floors of space, 3 bedrooms, and a loft with a balcony overlooking the backyard. There&#8217;s also an eat-in kitchen open to the living room. And you&#8217;ll love the tons of warm natural light that floods in from all angles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Raven&#8217;s striking kitchen is defined by a trendy peninsula bar. It features a waterfall countertop with stone that seems to flow right out of the floor on one side and across to the other. For this design, we chose the unmatched beauty and quality of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wilsonart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wilsonart\u00ae Quartz<\/a>. Not only is it stunning, but it&#8217;s extremely durable, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/images\/plans\/DDA\/bulk\/5345\/5435_Kitchen3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\"\/><figcaption>A Modern Kitchen with Wilsonart\u00ae Quartz Countertops<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We also chose to go with the time-tested style and functionality of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/linkto.asp?id=11610&amp;type=o\" target=\"_blank\">KitchenAid\u00ae appliances<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.signaturehardware.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Signature Hardware fixtures<\/a>. Both companies offer tons of options for completing this modern look. And if you like a more traditional style, they have that covered, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/images\/plans\/DDA\/bulk\/5345\/5345_KitchenClose.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\"\/><figcaption>An L-Shaped Kitchen Featuring Appliances from KitchenAid\u00ae and Finishes from Signature Hardware<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As this home has a garage, it needs a stylish garage door. While many overlook the benefits of the right garage door for curb appeal, we encourage you to do your research. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/linkto.asp?id=12901&amp;type=o\" target=\"_blank\">Clopay\u00ae<\/a> can provide a large array of styles, backed by a history of quality and satisfaction. That&#8217;s why we chose one of their garage doors for this featured home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Elmwood: THD-7298<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Elmwood is the sister plan to The Raven, and it has its own unique features to appreciate. While it has a little less space inside, it has a much larger deck over the carport. It&#8217;ll be hard to choose which design you like more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/images\/plans\/DDA\/bulk\/7298\/THD-7298-New-Main-Image.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/plan\/the-elmwood-7298\/\" target=\"_blank\">House Plan 7298 <\/a> <br>1,564 Square Foot, 3 Bed, 2.1 Bath Small Modern Home with a Carport<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Featuring 1,564 square feet with 3 bedrooms on two stories, The Elmwood is also a great family home. It does not have an enclosed garage, but the carport provides covered parking at a very affordable price to build. This also reduces the width of the fa\u00e7ade, making this home appropriate for a narrower lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/images\/plans\/DDA\/bulk\/7298\/5351-Rear.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\"\/><figcaption>Rear View Featuring the Second-Story Side Deck<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The carport comes with a spacious second-story deck overhead, which definitely increases its appeal even more. Just imagine hosting parties or relaxing with friends and family up here. A space like this makes it easier to take in sunsets and enjoy cool summer breezes more often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll also notice that every room in The Elmwood is flooded with natural light thanks to the ample windows throughout. For this home, we chose <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/linkto.asp?id=14295&amp;type=o\" target=\"_blank\">Marvin\u00ae windows<\/a>. These quality windows are exceptionally durable and efficient to help save money on utilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/images\/plans\/DDA\/bulk\/7298\/5345_Living.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\"\/><figcaption>Kitchen and Living Room View Featuring Marvin Windows<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<!--origin=62-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for a little modern home with a lot to love?
