THIS is a home that almost any family would enjoy, but it holds special appeal for the family that has a lot of friends and enjoys entertaining them. As you will see from the floor plan, the arrangement of the interior lends itself to easy hospitality. There are no doors between the large living room and the dining room. This open effect adds to the impression of spaciousness in both rooms and provides a perfect layout for either formal or informal entertaining.
Back of the living room is a den of the same size—one of the most attractive and adaptable features of the plan. Like the living room it has an inviting fireplace, and the rear wall is glazed, giving a full view of the living porch and terrace across the back. Here the children can play or study while the older members of the family entertain in the front of the house, or Mother and Father can read in peace while the younger generation takes over in the living room. And if the needs of the family dictate, this room can be converted into a library, music room or third bedroom (notice the ample closet by fireplace).
The bathroom, located between the two bedrooms, is easily accessible from both living room and den, and the hall off which it opens is blessed with two closets—a small one for guests' wraps and a larger one for the family's out-of-season clothing, luggage, etc.
The breakfast room is adequate for informal meals and it will save many steps for the homemaker. The kitchen is large and exceptionally well arranged. Behind it is a utility room, with space for full laundry equipment, which opens into the connecting garage and also onto the small service porch at the left.
The central location of the heating room assures good circulation of heat to all parts of the house.
