IF you are tired of the rigid, rectangular construction of so many houses and want an original exterior design which will still not interfere with sound floor planning, try The Merrick. It may be tailored exactly to fit your needs.
The idea of a home to fit your personality and way of life is as important as the price, size, location and other factors. When looking at the floor plan of a house, imagine yourself and your family actually living in it day after day. Do you entertain a lot and is the living room large enough for such entertainment? Do you need a room to practice your favorite hobby? Do you prefer the bedrooms well separated from the living area or close at hand? Do you want a house that is distinctly different? There are hundreds of such questions-and The Merrick may have just that individual quality to answer all of them satisfactorily.
Notice the double roof extensions that come forward over the attached garage on the left and the master bedroom on the right to form a natural frame for the center patio. An iron railing in front and the picture window of the living room behind further enclose this interesting patio which also acts as an approach to the front door.
A foyer, complete with guest coat closet, is just inside the front entrance. From here one can turn left into the living room or right into the central hall leading to the bedrooms.
The living and dining rooms are L-shaped and divided only by a large open archway to give the sensation of a single large area. A large picture window is installed in the front wall of the living room and overlooks the patio in front of the house. A similar picture win- dow in the dining room rear wall is exactly opposite the front window and adds a sense of balance to the combined area. Sufficient wall space is still available for a wide range of interior decoration.
The dining room overlooks the back yard of the house for privacy when eating. A door on its left wall leads to the kitchen.
One corner of the modern kitchen has as a special feature a breakfast nook that is especially convenient when dining alone or for feeding the children. Along the two outer walls the kitchen equipment is arranged in an L to simplify work. Two windows give the kitchen double exposure and cross ventilation, a feature rarely found in moderately priced homes. A second door leads from the kitchen to the full basement.
The bedrooms and bath are located on the right side of The Merrick and are accessible from the central hall. There are three bedrooms. The master bedroom in the front of the house has three closets. If the modern bathroom is not sufficient for the household, a lavatory may be installed in the third closet at additional expense.
The bathroom is fully up-to-date. It boasts a glass enclosed shower and a built- in vanity with full mirror. The bathroom is finished in colored tile with chrome fixtures.
