The difference in this distinctive ranch home is the wonderful extra level idea that affords a garage to one side, and adds a maid's room above, all without destroying the long, low lines that count so much. Smartly styled outside, and perfect for a slope on your property, the house invites you into a practically perfect interior. The reception foyer is a magnificent open area, with a coat closet, and, in the hall to the right you'll find a guest closet almost 9' wide. The two bathrooms (one private for the master suite) are back to back, with an angled tub in the main one and Hollywood stall-shower in the other. Both have unusual vanitory-lavatory fixtures, and sliding doors. Perhaps the most significant features in each of the three bedrooms are the tremendous wardrobe areas, and of course you'll note that corner windows in each chamber provide two exposures. Straight through the foyer, you'll find yourself in a living room that is just about 32' wide, with a marvelous "window" wall, almost 10' across. A free standing storage-wall serves to separate living and dining zones, and hi-fi or television built-ins will become part of the living room, while china, silver and linens can be stored conveniently for the dining room. A door invites your guests out to the terrace and porch. The service areas can be reached through the dinette at the left of the foyer or by the service door from the porch or front service door. The basement stairs are easily reached and you can go on into the laundry that's as complete as any you'll find. Go up 5 steps to a landing that opens into the 20' maid's room where a shed dormer at the back adds a huge closet and full bathroom, as well as a second exposure. The basement stairs lead right to the "dropped" garage be- neath and another 5 steps go down to the full basement. The heater is under the bedroom wing, and a future lavatory is sketched in at this side too. But the entire center basement area is planned to accommodate a future recreation room, with a fireplace to be added under the living room unit.
