THE simple, dignified lines of this ranch-type house give it an air of refinement not usually associated with this basically informal style of architecture. The brick walls are ornamented only with the stone trim around the doorway and the built-in brick planting box.
The front door is sheltered and opens into a small entry which diverts traffic to the various parts of the house. The spacious living-dining room is at the rear of the house and has two window walls overlooking the garden. In addition to the dining area, there is a handy breakfast room.
The large L-shaped kitchen — which is conveniently located midway between the front and back doors — opens into a good-sized utility room, which in turn opens into the double garage and onto the back porch.
Note the spaciousness of the bedrooms. One of these rooms has two exposures, the other three. Both have plenty of wall space for good furniture arrangement.
Storage space is ample. Notice the twin sliding-door closets in the bedrooms, the linen closet in the bathroom, the large closet in the hall for miscellaneous storage, the coat closet near the entry, and the tool closet in the garage.
The house is centrally heated, but there is also a handsome fireplace in the living room.
