This is a home that stresses family comfort in a custom- styled plan. There's charm in the exterior look of the house and the entertaining areas are stunning, but the basic factor that makes this home universally popular is the completely practical plan. Of course, it begins with a center hall. Traffic patterns become apparent at once. If the youngsters come in the front door, they can head straight for the kitchen and snacks. If the back door is used, they can have their milk and go right down to the recreation room or hobby room in the basement for an afternoon of play or study. Or they can go through the kitchen and reach the bedroom hall with the bathroom at the end. All this freedom of movement without once going through the living or dining areas. This spacious entertaining section of the house goes through from front to back, forming a magnificent space when there are numerous guests. If the group is smaller, dinner can be served in privacy and then the table can be cleared while everyone goes into the living room around the cheery fireplace. On warm evenings, the covered porch is easily reached from the dining room and with the attached garage in front of it, outdoor gatherings enjoy sheltered privacy. To the right of the entry hall, the bedrooms form an L for sleeping comfort. Special note should be taken of the wardrobe closet in bedroom 3, cross ventilation in the corner bedroom, and the large scale bathroom, with twin sink vanitory that these chambers use. The master bedroom is at the back and there are the luxury extras of walk-in closet, vanitory in the stall shower lavatory, and a feeling of airy spaciousness that mean so much today. The kitchen and service centers are any homemaker's dream The overall area is 19' x 15', and the breakfast alcove at the back is wonderfully spacious and bright without stealing any of the important work area on the other side of the island snack bar. Wall oven, counter top range burners refrigerator and sink are in a compact squared-off space, easy to move around in, and easy on the busy housewife. An extra adjunct is the first floor laundry room, just inside the back vestibule, and complete with washer, dryer and ironer. In areas where you might want to eliminate the basement, this would become the utility room, most conveniently planned. Nothing is missing to make this plan your perfect dream house. It will be a source of pride from housewarming day forward.
