For extra living on an economy scale, the plan of this lovely home takes the prize. Avoiding expensive roof breaks, the layout is in a rectangle, but there's nothing "boxy" about it. And adding the breezeway and garage gives the front view of the house that long, low look that usually costs a lot more. Without waste of any living square footage, there is a center hall plan that separates living, dining, bedroom and service zones from each other and makes for the most efficient traffic circulation. A divider is suggested at the front entry to shelter the living room from drafts, and an airy planter wall works magic for the dining room; these budget planned items take the place of walls but do the job of setting the important living rooms off from the entry, the hall and from each other. A big country window brightens the dining room, and the many-paned picture window in the living room presents a delightful aspect from inside as well as from the street. As a focal point, the living room fireplace with its wide hearth keynotes any decorating scheme to perfection, and the chimney makes provision for a barbecue fireplace out on the breezeway. This outdoor area can be enclosed for a family room if preferred, but with its lattice shields at front and back, there's summer evening comfort here just as it is shown. The kitchen arranges its utilities in an L-shape, and gives easy step-saving along with a corner for a built-in dinette. Service vestibule is reached from the breezeway (convenient to the garage) and includes a broom closet along with stairway to the basement. A big family bathroom has room for a vanitory and a linen closet. All the bedrooms are big, bright and airy and closets are good. Distinctive outside touches include the decorative raised panels, wide stone planter, cupola, and eagle motif.
