Plans call for three bedrooms and four bathrooms, with interior layouts spanning living, dining, and kitchen spaces on the first floor and bedrooms on the upper levels. The building will rise 36 feet, 10 inches to the roof, with a parapet topping at approximately 40 feet, while the pilot house extends to 47 feet. The lot measures just under 1,000 square feet, with a footprint of about 728 square feet and a rear yard of 243 square feet, meeting the RSA-5 zoning requirement of 25 percent open space.
The front façade will feature a brick veneer with large windows and a custom steel stair leading to the main entry, while the rear elevation will include siding, a patio door, and access to the rear yard.
