The delightful exterior of this house suggests its attractiveness within. It's a plan geared to modern living, with exciting possibilities for family futures. The protected front doorway leads to a lovely welcoming foyer, with the vista of living room picture window beyond. To the left is the service wing, with kitchen, laundry and clean-up zone all convenient to the side door, as well as to the garage. The mammoth kitchen has counter space galore, arranged in a step-saving U, with a cozy corner set off for a breakfast nook. Next to this is the laundry, complete in every detail. The alternate sketch for cellar plan shows where the basement stairway will be located, and if you prefer an adjacent laundry even with the basement added, the space shown for storage in the garage can be adapted to accommodate washer and dryer as before. This will not disturb the convenient lavatory or mud closet, and note that the furnace room can be used for outdoor furniture storage opening from the patio. Living and dining areas are all out toward the back. An expanse of almost 35 feet divides itself easily, separated by a planter box and latticed posts to delineate its multiple functions. Focal areas will be the fireplace in winter and the window wall in summer, to look over the terrace and garden. Almost the best feature of the center hall arrangement is the privacy afforded sleeping areas. At the front of the house are the two smaller bedrooms, one easily doubling as a den. Corner windows give each of these chambers two exposures. In a wing by itself, is the master bedroom and bath, with four tremendous closets plus space for a built-in. This bedroom, too, has the luxury of twin exposures, and its privacy is fully assured. This is a house where indoor and outdoor living blend at their very best.

The immense sweep of the picture windows in this heart saver kitchen is a joy to any homemaker. And cabinets, cupboards and work space make this a prize-winner.
