THERE’S no wasted space in this compact but uncrowded house. In its 1,255 square feet you will find a spacious living-dining room, an entry with a coat closet, an efficient corridor-type kitchen with a breakfast area, two good-sized bedrooms with large sliding-door closets, a convenient utility room and plenty of storage facilities. Little space is given over to the hallway — just enough to insure privacy for the bedrooms and bath.
The center of interest of the friendly living room is a fireplace flanked by bookcases. A large picture window in the living area and four windows in the dining area make the room bright and cheerful. The bedrooms are also light and well ventilated, with two exposures in the front room and three in the master bedroom.
The kitchen has the desirable double sink, a handy work space between the range and refrigerator, and a breakfast area with windows overlooking the garden. The kitchen opens into a utility room which has space for laundry equipment and water heater; the utility room in turn opens into the car port, which has a closet for storing tools and garden equipment. Two large hall closets provide for general storage and the central heating unit. The bath has the lavatory set in a built-in dressing table, and there is a good-sized linen closet and a tub that can be curtained or enclosed for a shower. The exterior of the house is of brick veneer, to which shutters add a touch of contrasting color, and it features a large built-in plant box.
