The entrance to this modern ranch house is as inviting as it can be. The brick porch is extended on either side to include a planting space for shrubbery. The entire porch is protected from the elements by the roof over-hang. The large foyer is lighted by the two window panels which flank the front door; this foyer is located so that the living room, kitchen, or bedrooms may be reached directly without going through any other part of the house. The living room is a pure delight-it has been designed with a cathedral ceiling, a large fireplace centered along the outside wall, as well as a group three windows along the front wall and another along the rear wall. A space has been provided for a built-in television set which can be pulled out to make it visible from any point in the living room. The large dining room is easily reached from either living room or kitchen. The kitchen includes a spot for breakfasts right next to the small back porch-sliding glass doors and a planter on the porch help to make this breakfast spot light and cheerful. The kitchen has been planned to have appliances spaced for easy workability. All three bedrooms are large and light and equipped with sliding door closets; the master bedroom has its own bath and shower, a second bath off the main hall includes a tub and vanity sink. The bedroom hall space is made doubly useful with several closets and an enclosed space for a "piggy-back" washer and dryer combination. Stairs from the foyer lead down to an ample basement where there is room for storage, a play area for children which may be equipped with a door to the outside, another large room which would be ideal as a hobby shop or workshop, and a garage with a door leading directly into the cellar as well as an alternate plan for an outside door. Modern living is easy in a house as well planned as this one.
