There's a "story book" quality about this house that surrounds it inside and out. The quaint leaded glass windows are unusually attractive and lend a look of enchantment to the exterior. The covered entry protects guests in all kinds of weather- the large foyer is perfect for greeting them and storing their coats. The kitchen has a plan which puts every utility within easy reach, and there is also room for family meals. Near the kitchen are the stairs to the cellar. Two steps down from the kitchen is the family room- it has a large window area and a big fireplace, and the bottom step has been extended to make a raised hearth seat. This spacious room will prove to be the family favorite for entertaining and relaxing, and in pleasant weather the patio can become an extension of this room. Since the patio is in a sheltered corner of the house it could easily be screened-in for maximum use. A built-in barbecue on the patio invites cook-out meals.
The brick wall of the fireplace has been extended to cover one whole wall of the dining room, which is up two steps from the family room and the patio. The dining room and the living room have been placed at the rear of the house for quiet and privacy, and both rooms are ideally suited to more formal entertaining. The living room plan provides for a music center to add to the relaxing mood of this room. The two bedrooms at the front of the house have cross-ventilation and sliding door closets. There is a linen closet in the hall which serves them and the family bath. Under the linen closet there is a laundry chute to the cellar, a step-saver, indeed. The family bath has an alcove tub, and the bath in the master bedroom has a corner shower. Also in the master bedroom are two double closets, and a dressing room with vanity wall. The two car garage may be built with the door to the side of the house if desired, or as shown.
