31 428 Emberly is a two-story residence providing 1,557 square feet of heated living space, specifically engineered for narrow lots with its 20-foot width and 42-foot depth. The exterior features a 32-square-foot covered front porch, establishing a clear transition into the home while maximizing the footprint on restricted urban or suburban building sites.

The first floor encompasses 808 square feet, anchored by an open-concept core that integrates the kitchen, dining, and family room. A central kitchen island provides supplemental food preparation surface and casual seating, while 9-foot ceilings enhance the vertical volume of the living zone. This level also includes a half-bathroom for guest access, maintaining a clear separation between public and private spaces.

Occupying 749 square feet, the second floor houses the private quarters, including the primary suite with an attached bath and walk-in closet. Two secondary bedrooms share a full bathroom, while the inclusion of a second-floor laundry room reduces transit time for household chores. Ceiling heights on this level are 8 feet, providing a standard, efficient profile for the bedroom wing.

Structural integrity is achieved through 2x6 wall framing, which allows for increased insulation efficiency. The home is capped with a 6:12 roof pitch, resulting in a maximum building height of 25 feet 10 inches. This construction approach ensures a durable building envelope while maintaining a traditional aesthetic suitable for various regional architectural styles.

Practicality is integrated throughout the layout, including an additional 32-square-foot deck area for outdoor utility.
