Particularly practical for a lot that slopes to the rear, this attractive plan offers the attractions of multi-level living with a ranch facade. The plan is unusual in that it shows the stairway to the bedroom level going up to the side, but the bedrooms open off the smart balcony at the back of the house. This bedroom arrangement is one of the most popular and each of the chambers is easily reached right from the balcony. The master bedroom has corner windows and a full-wall closet, while a closet wall separates the other two bedrooms giving them excellent storage. The bathroom is full size with a particularly attractive vanitory right at the door to serve as a guest lavatory and family storage is provided by the apotheca cabinet. A linen closet is just outside the door. On the main level a welcoming vestibule shields the living room from the front door and directs traffic efficiently to kitchen or living room. Spacious entertaining area is afforded in the living room with excellent wall space and bright picture window at the front. The flower box planter to the side of the stairway is an attractive spot of growing greenery to glimpse from the room itself. To the other side of the foyer, the kitchen-dining area is bright, efficient and comfortable. Pullman arrangement of kitchen appliances saves steps and leaves maximum area for dining nook. The side service entry is a wonderful traffic regulator, too. With the stairway to the recreation room opening from the dining area, the youngsters can come indoors without disturbing the living room and move right down to their own play room. The area under the front of the house is unexcavated but full excavation could be handled on the job and then storage and heater could be in the basement area. As the plan is shown now, these items are taken care of in the heater room and next to it is a most convenient laundry and lavatory. The recreation room is spacious and effective with its own built-in bar and stunning picture window overlooking the back garden or terrace. This is a trim, sparkling home, economical to build and full of good-living ideas for a modern family.
