The Ballentine house plan was originally designed to fit harmoniously into a historical neighborhood named Ballentine Place in Norfolk, Virginia. It provides a welcoming front porch and traditional shutters on a simple two-story home for a very narrow lot, 21 feet. Inside, the large family room offers a comfortable and relaxed living space. The open kitchen adjoins a breakfast nook for meals and snacks. A first floor bedroom has easy access to the full bath. This bedroom design is ideal for an aging relative or an overnight guest. The master suite and two more bedrooms are located on the second floor.
