WITH its large rooms and open living area, this three-bedroom brick rambler is a model of spaciousness. And along with the widespread floor plan go the ground-hugging lines that tie the house in with its setting.
The eye-catching feature of the front elevation is the floor-to-ceiling window wall of the living room. (There is a corresponding wall of glass at the other end of this room.) The roof extends over the front porch to provide a protected entrance.
In the large living area, the center of interest is the double fireplace which opens into both the living room and the all-purpose room. This all-purpose room can be thrown open to serve as part of the living room proper for large parties, and it can be used as a family living room, a game and television room, or a den.
There is a formal dining area in the L-shaped living room, as well as a sizable breakfast area at one end of the kitchen. A bar between the breakfast-kitchen area and the all-purpose room is handy for serving snacks at informal parties.
The U-shaped kitchen has space for laundry equipment. Just off this utility area there is a convenient lavatory, and a small back porch which opens into the double garage.
