THE wood shingles and siding and partial brick veneer give the exterior of this house a pleasant contrast of both color and texture. The lines are low and rambling, but the interior is arranged for maximum convenience. The house has the English charm that appeals to many Americans, plus the practical features that they value even more.
A foyer connects the bedroom and living wings. The living room is lighted by floor-length windows on the front, balanced by a fireplace on the opposite wall. An unusual amount of wall space insures flexibility of furniture arrangement. The wide doorway into the dining room affords cross ventilation through the living and dining room windows.
Divided into working and breakfast areas, the long kitchen has a window on each end to provide good ventilation, as well as convenience for the homemaker who wants to keep an eye on the children’s back-yard play area and on the front approach to the house.
The bedrooms are designed especially for the Southern climate. Each has three exposures. There is good wall space for chests and beds, and ample closet room.
