IF YOURS is a three-bedroom family, this plan has much to offer in the way of convenient, harmonious living. With two full baths, Father can shave in peaceful solitude in one, while the children wash up for breakfast in the other. All the bedrooms are large — and just look at the usable wall space they afford.
This plan places the efficient, corridor-type kitchen in a step-saving central location, and it provides a variety of eating spots — a breakfast area at one end of the kitchen, a full dining room, and a large terrace for outdoor meals. Situated as it is, the terrace is private and protected.
A handsome fireplace dominates one end of the living room. This spacious room and the large dining room (there is the merest suggestion of separation between them) make it possible to entertain sizable groups without crowding.
The front porch is protected, and the small entrance hall has a coat closet. This hall opens into both the living area and the bedroom wing.
The simple, straightforward exterior of the house is of brick veneer, while the attached double garage is of frame construction. The garage — note its two large closets — opens onto the terrace, and from there it’s just a step to the dining room. A sidewalk leads from the front of the garage to the porch.
