THIS two-bedroom house cuts building costs without sacrificing those little extras that make for good living — quite an achievement in these inflationary times. First of all, it is of economical frame construction. And it is practically square — the least expensive shape to build — yet the low-pitched roof and the car port give it the long, ground-hugging lines that are so popular. A distinctive front door, wood shingled walls and the columns of the porch lend interest to the simple and straightforward exterior.
From the protected entrance, the front door opens into the 26-foot-long living-dining area. And here is one of those extras just mentioned — plenty of wall space for large pieces of furniture. Another of the plus features of this well-integrated plan is the generous amount of storage space. Both bedrooms have twin closets with sliding doors. There is a pair of roomy closets in the hall (as well as a closet for the heating unit), a linen closet in the bathroom and a coat closet by the front door.
The convenient L-shaped kitchen provides additional eating space and it has one especially handy feature that will appeal to any cook — a large working surface on each side of the range. A utility room, with space for a complete home laundry, adjoins the kitchen. Cross-ventilation throughout the house keeps it pleasantly cool in summer, while a central heating unit takes care of winter chill.
