This house would be a winner everywhere but a special design makes it the best answer to the problem of a low lot where excavation must be kept to a minimum. The basement floor is only 3' below grade. Even though there may be a high water table in the area, you can have a huge playroom area with picture windows to a play terrace. On a normal lot the exterior has a wonderful look, in a stunning U-shape around a welcoming patio. Where the land is low, a smart effect can be obtained by terracing up to the front, for a delightful vista from the living room picture window. The entrance to the house from the patio is into a center hall that directs traffic efficiently. The formal living room is wide and welcoming, with a fireplace at one side. Behind it, the dining room is a lovely room and most convenient to the well-planned kitchen. The three bedrooms enjoy privacy, good ventilation and super closets. For economy, the full bathroom is back-to-back with the kitchen, and on the same line, a private stall shower is a convenience for the master bedroom. In areas where a septic tank is necessary, this is a practical solution and economical too, since sewage disposal is concentrated in one area. In addition, no unsightly piping will be exposed in the basement which gives heater and laundry enclosed areas to keep the main basement zone free for the largest playroom ever.
