1960s split levels, knock down a single wall and you have an open floor plan. It is an incredibly common remodel. They often have vaulted ceilings and front bay windows. While I do <3 a well done modern floor plan, sadly most new houses have garbage floor plans. Ironically, and IMHO, the smaller houses tend to make better use of space out of pure necessity. Take a 1200sqft 2 bedroom house, tell builders they have another 1000sqft, and they'll shove in a 2nd dining room, 3 closets, another bathroom, but no more useful space. Related, 2 bedroom 3 bath houses make me want to scream.
