{"product_id":"brians-cherry-blossom","title":"Brian's Cherry Blossom (2BR 2Bath)","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRoom for friends with privacy in the back. With a floor plan inspired by and updated from the 1913 Sears Modern Home No. 191, the footprint is a tight 29'x45' - great for a narrow lot. Like all our plans, we optimize for straight-forward, low-cost construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBrian's Cherry Blossom was inspired when our friend Brian searched through the 1913 Sears Modern Home catalog looking for a solid two‑bedroom solution that would meet his needs as a young professional. We took Sears “Modern Home 191” from 1913 and modernized it by expanding the kitchen, shifting a porch, and adding a second bath. (We also simplified the roof plan.) The result is a strong option for one or two adults or a small family in need of a home.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eIf you choose this model, \u003c\/b\u003ewe provide complete architectural plans and Florida PE‑stamped structural plans for a 2‑bedroom, 2‑bath, 1,113 sq ft home engineered for the conditions at your site. With a 29' x 45' footprint, this design fits comfortably on a small lot or in‑fill parcel. Like all Mended Oak homes, the layout balances space for fellowship and community with the need for privacy and retreat. You can enter through the living room on one end or through the dining room on the other, with a spacious kitchen between. A central hallway leads to bedrooms and bathrooms - but without any through‑traffic in that area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFor DIY builders: \u003c\/b\u003eThis is an achievable challenge for a do‑it‑yourself builder (Mended Oak Scale: 6 out of 10). Once the slab is poured and cured, build the walls, set the ceiling joists, and build up the roof from the ceiling, and dry it in. If you plan to build it yourself, make sure you or someone on your team has some planning and construction skill. All required materials can be purchased from your local big‑box or wholesale building supply store. By the time you’re finished, you will have constructed traditional platform‑framed walls, raked walls, conventionally framed ceilings, roofs, and gable walls, and installed multiple windows and doors. Watching DIY tutorials ahead of time is recommended so you can decide which tasks you want to take on personally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeed to Customize? \u003c\/strong\u003eWant to extend the lanai?

This 2‑bedroom, 2‑bath design, open-floor design provides both—spacious areas for gathering and private rooms for retreat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mended Oak Design \u0026 Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46119940096172,"sku":null,"price":1250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/3549\/0220\/files\/front.jpg?v=1776429261","url":"https:\/\/themendedoak.com\/products\/brians-cherry-blossom","provider":"Mended Oak Design \u0026 Engineering","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
