SIMPLICITY and good proportions give this cottage an air of genuine dignity unusual in a small house. The doorway, Early American in detail, is balanced by the large living room window, which is underlined by an over-sized built-in brick flower box.
The open arrangement of the living and dining rooms and den, each a large room in itself, gives spaciousness to the living area. Opposite the window in the living room is the fireplace, with a bookcase on one side. The three steps leading down from the living room into the den are flanked by bookcases on the den side.
A wide window in the dining room overlooks the back terrace. This partially covered terrace provides a shelter for entrances to the garage, kitchen and master bedroom. It can be used as an outdoor living room and dining room, and its location insures privacy. The large bedrooms are isolated from the living area but convenient to the kitchen. Both bedrooms have ample closet space and three exposures.
