The magic of Colonial design seems to surround this home and gives it the distinctive air that we all love so well. Planned for the contemporary living scheme, this home uses two floors to include every convenience and comfort feature that you will want. Under the handsome colonnade portico the entry into the house is accomplished comfortably in all weathers. There's a wide, welcoming foyer, with a spiral staircase shown leading to the bedroom floor. To the sides wide arches lead into the living room and dining room, both of which have fine Colonial windows seen from the front portico. The living room takes the depth of the house and offers unusual wall space for decorating. There are windows at the back, too, for through ventilation, and a period fireplace on the side wall sets the scene for gracious hospitality. The dining room is particularly well situated to present a handsome picture as you enter the house, and its size and layout make formal and informal mealtimes a pleasure. To the side of the dining room separated by folding doors, is the family room. Here a huge, many paned window brightens the room and looks lovely at the front of the house, and a facing window at the back, overlooking the rear porch, gives this important all-day room plenty of airy comfort. The back vestibule opens from the porch to either family room or kitchen, and a service lavatory is placed just right. The kitchen and breakfast room were planned to make living easy for the lady of the house. Three sunny windows brighten the eating area and the work area, too and appliances and counters are coordinated to save every step. It's easy to get in and out of this area, with ready access from the front entry and back vestibule, the dining room, and steps to the cellar all right at hand. Privacy is insured at bedtime, up the spiral staircase to the three handsome chambers. The upper hall has a lovely look, with the curving balcony effect and the graceful stairway. The master bedroom has everything to make parents comfortable, with the walk-in closet and private stall-shower bathroom. A most convenient, very large linen closet is in the hall, just outside the door of the family bathroom and right at the head of the stairs. The second and third bedrooms are compact, with two windows apiece and sharing a wall of closet area. Best of all, all this luxurious look and living area is designed for the moderate budget-true Colonial planning to give today's family the best of everything.
