Those who have built this house proclaim the unfettered feeling of its spacious living area, the attractiveness of its master bedroom and its pleasant bathroom. Kitchen and second bedroom are small, yet efficiently planned. Kitchen counter and cabinets are ample. Right-hand cabinet has standard height end table for snacks or bookkeeping. A good closet and six-foot surface over drawers and cabinet help small bedroom, which will house 36 inch twin beds in a pinch.
Extra footage can easily be added at left end of house, and, kitchen brought out to garage depth if anyone wants larger rooms. Alcove adds to size of living room since it is an extension of it, broken only by a beam at ceiling. A screen, a drapery or a Modern- fold wall can enclose it for privacy, since it is intended for family relaxing or sleeping a guest. A closet makes it more useful for the latter. An alternate plan has porch in lieu of the terrace. Garage is minimum for one car; if property is wide enough add two feet more, or a double garage 18 feet wide. Well-placed stairway leads to recreation room below living room-kitchen, dark- room in front. Bedrooms over laundry and furnace room.
An informal setting is created with redwood and stone. Wall of stone divides den and hall, a redwood cabinet the dining room and hall. It has radio-phonograph on hall side, cabinet housing dining equipment on the other, records above. Den-alcove tiny but useful.
