There isn't a single thing missing in this miracle ranch house where spacious luxury goes hand-in-hand with practical planning. Every zone, from service to formal, is a carefully thought-out masterpiece of functionalism. The reception foyer that opens from the flagstone loggia at the front is 10' square, large enough for built-in shelves as shown, and a gracious beginning for hospitality. The kitchen is of a size that can be called "old-fashioned", but it utilizes every modern feature. The oven is the latest built-in type and range burners are in the middle of their own work counters with cabinets overhead. A wall refrigerator is brand new. Three exposures brighten the informal dining room. A built-in desk is an asset to Mother by day, or to youngsters for evening homework. Beyond, there's a complete laundry, and opposite a pantry closet with sliding doors into which you can fit your freezer. Although there is a full basement, it's much more convenient to have these utilities right off the kitchen.
Notice the extra bedroom and bath suite which, depending on your needs, is a maid's room, study or guest room. The family bedrooms are wonderfully proportioned. The two front bedrooms have two exposures and large, sliding-door closets. The bathroom combines powder-room with vanity and vanitory, and beyond, set off by slide- away doors, a full bathroom with another vanitory. The master bedroom is truly luxurious, distinctive in size, and stars magnificent windows and a door out to the patio. Two walk-in closets and a shower-lavatory complete this suite. A step down from the foyer and you're in the formal living room. This dramatic and charming area is enhanced by a fireplace with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves on one side, and a wood cabinet on the other. Glass sliding doors open out to patio. There's a door, too, from the dining room, where stunning window walls and cabinets to display your fine accessories add their note of decorator magic.
