THIS pleasant two-bedroom cottage combines economy and convenience for the small family, with many of the extras usually found only in larger homes.
The recessed front entrance opens into a foyer, which is provided with a coat closet. The spacious living-dining area has windows on three walls to insure good ventilation. A well-placed fireplace adds to the attractiveness and comfort of the L-shaped room, and still leaves enough space for that inevitable large piece of wall furniture.
The kitchen is placed at the front of the house. A portion of it is partitioned off to serve as a laundry room, but there is an ample passageway from the kitchen proper to the terrace for ease in serving outdoor meals.
The covered terrace can be used almost the year round in the South. With entrances from the dining room, a bedroom and the utility room, it is centrally located both for convenience and privacy.
Located at the back of the house, away from the noise of household operation, are the bedrooms, each with triple exposure. The two bedrooms and the centrally located bath are connected by a hall which opens into the living room.
