You get a lot of living in this 9-square timber home.
It has a convenient and adaptable layout for a young family. It is planned for easy maintenance. The den- guest room could become a third bedroom or a separate alcove for TV showing. The living room lends itself to good decoration with central fireplace and dining.
The house is framed in timber with a slightly pitched roof covered in asbestos cement. The screen-fence is not essential, but if the house is built in a closely settled suburb it would give privacy to outdoor living at the side of the house. Note how plumbing is grouped for economical installation. The laundry could incorporate a sewing corner as well.
