The attractive, hip-roofed house on these pages solves that hillside problem and is suitable for any grade. Except for a strip of level lawn at front and back, the banks can slope upward and down ward at a steep grade. The living floor is level with the lawn at the rear, and the basement floor is level with the front grade, thereby making the small room at entrance level economical in space and providing a good entrance hall. Note attractive dining room and kitchen at left, with plenty of storage cabinets.
Windows are double hung, except for the gliding pair to porch. House is 42 feet wide and would require a minimum plot of 75 feet, unless it is on a corner where access to garage would take less space.
Living area floor covers 1068 square feet, the basement floor 672 square feet. Exterior is brick veneer over frame.
Bookshelves at head of stairs line a 9-foot wood-paneled wall to mantel, broken only by kitchen door. Change in floor level here and projecting mantel are points of interest. Fireplace is central. Cheerful hall, shown above, has large glass areas, corner garden spot and attractive stairway landing. Floor is asphalt tile covered, continuing into adjacent room. Living room, below, has 4-foot wide windows that slide behind draperies opening the room wide to porch, enlarging room by 120 square feet. Note the 15-foot wall enclosing service area and driveway in basement floor plan.
