Homes and Plans - Plan C-1310 | Architect: Lester Cohen

 


The lines of this smart, and particularly comfortable A-frame house are readily adaptable to your family's vacation needs at the seaside, mountain lake or country suburb. The wrap-around wooden deck offers the most wonderful outdoor living area for good weather in any location and indoor living is equally smart and spacious. The main level includes a big living room with a cozy fireplace, a dining area and a compact kitchen that takes care of handling a family or a great big holiday party with equal ease. The bathroom is back-to-back with the kitchen, both practical and economical, and the two bedrooms are at the rear of the house. Four closets in one room and two others in the second make for better-than-average storage. The stairway arrangement is terrific. Stairway up to the balcony that overlooks the living room is at the right of the fireplace. This reaches the big balcony bedroom where three large closets and a second bathroom make the area a fine master bedroom suite. A folding screen can be used to shut off the room from the living quarters below, but left open, this bedroom can enjoy the window vistas at the front of the house across the upper part of the living room, Big windows also look out to the back. The stairway at the left of the fireplace takes you down to the garage (or boat storage) area as well as to the recreation room and rear storage space. A fireplace in the recreation room is equally cheery and sliding glass doors that look out to the lake or mountains enhance this room. There's a heater alcove next to the fireplace here and that means that you can turn the house into a year-round resort for weekends or build it as a ski-lodge or other winter home. It's a wonderful "second" house for city dwellers or a cozy, efficient year 'round home for a fun-loving family.
