Talmage 20 Design

The Talmage 20 is a nice design by Tiny House Design. It has elements of other house plans I've looked at, including large central dormers and a corner porch entry.

The inside has some unique features, such as a central bathroom and kitchen, a loft open to the front and back. A living area and dining areas are at opposite ends of the house, with the entry in the living area. The loft is above the kitchen and bath, and as shown is open to both the living and dining area. The dining area has a bay window.

This design as shown is very open and light is plentiful. I prefer stairs to the ladder. One option would be to add a stairway where the storage room lies, and replace that storage with cabinets below the stairs.

With a stairway added, the other missing criteria are plenty of storage, and the proximity of bathroom to kitchen. The kitchen area is small in relation to the area devoted to the kitchen and dining rooms. This isn't a perfect design for me, but it has interesting features. The plan is inexpensive at $29, and includes a framing plan, materials list, and a Sketchup file.
