THERE are many conveniences in this attractive house. It is compact without being crowded, and the rooms are arranged with consideration for today’s casual scheme of living. There is a large living-dining room that lends itself to entertaining either a small group or a sizable crowd. The kitchen is at the front of the house, handily midway between the front door and the entry from the garage. There is a good-sized utility room with space for laundry equipment and a large storage closet. Both the service entrance and the garage open into this room.
The two bedrooms have double closets with sliding doors; there is a coat closet, a hall closet for miscellaneous storage, two linen closets in the bathroom and, in the garage, an unusually large closet for tools and garden equipment.
In addition to the dining room, there is a breakfast area in the kitchen. Hall space is kept to a minimum; there is just enough to give privacy to the bedrooms and bath and to keep the other rooms free of traffic. To provide cross-ventilation, the living room has three exposures and both bedrooms have double exposures. There is a central heating unit, but a fireplace in the living room provides the additional cheery warmth of a wood fire.
The front entrance is sheltered and features a large picture window and a built-in plant box. Vertical siding on the garage provides an interesting contrast to the brick walls of the house.
