The true test of a small house is how well it stretches its limited space to accommodate a young family's interests. The "stretch" in Trade Winds is exceptional, especially for youngsters. Unlike most houses around $23,000, it has genuine multi-purpose space: The dining-family room is an area which can be used for TV and music, for doing homework, for games or, in a pinch, even for an overnight guest. The plan, basically L-shaped, consists of a master bedroom-living room wing and a children's wing, with a kitchen at the bend of the L. The kitchen is U-shaped and has a doorway directly to the carport. A breakfast and snack bar is built in a semi-circle at one end of the kitchen. Especially attractive for a growing family is the fact that all rooms except one bedroom are linked directly to the terrace and pool.
