Pros
& Cons
There are many supporters of the open oor plan, particularly those who entertain frequently or like to keep an eye on children throughout the house. Although open oor plans are touted, there are plenty of people who have neverbeen enamored with having all of their rooms owing into one. There also are some people who prefer a different style.
For those who are not fans of the open oor plan, blame the excess of the 1980s for their inception. In homes built in the 1960s and 1970s, rooms were compartmentalized and isolated for specic activities. During the 1980s, an era of "bigger is better," when entertaining was widely popular among homeowners, designers noticed that many preferred an homeowners open oor plan in which rooms merged into one another, creating the illusion of more space. These oor plans also enable people to be in separate rooms and still interact with one another across the space. A home's oor plan largely depends on the preference of the homeowner. There are many advantages to having an open oor plan versus one that is more compartmentalized. Here is a look at some of the pros and cons. Pro: Open oor plans can be safer for parents of young children. If the home opens up with the living spaces branching off from the kitchen, parents can keep an eye on children while the parents prepare dinner. It also eliminates the number of places that kids
Open oor plans have evolved to be the oor plan of choice in new homes and current home renovations. Turn T on a home renovation show, and you're likely to see eager homeowners knocking down walls to open the kitchen to the family room. Walls have become to homeowners. anathema

Unusual property! Could be a hunters cabin or you could x it up to be your special home. It is a log cabin, rustic now but offers views, and 5 acres of land. The land will have to be bush-hogged to see the value but it appears to be softly rolling. The 2nd oor is almost nished. The utilities have been cut so basically at this time there is no heat or water. There is a well and septic and the plans where they are at are available. It has a kitchen, living room and bedroom and a 1/2 bath on rst oor, 2 bedrooms and bath on 2nd. It could be that mountain home you have always wanted at a reasonable price. All this for $179,900 ALL OFFERS MUST HAVE PROOF OF FUNDS.
