THE prospective homeowner with a limited budget is often disappointed when he begins to study house plans, for he finds that a number of desirable features must be sacrificed for the sake of economy. But here is a compact little plan which uses every foot of floor space (it has only a little over 1,000 square feet) to such good advantage that it is possible to include many of those extras usually found only in larger homes. For one thing, there is an entrance foyer with a coat closet. For another, there is a breakfast nook in addition to the dining area in the living room. Even a laundry room is included.
The spacious living-dining area is planned for good furniture arrangement. The bedroom wing is compact, but not crowded, and has large closets with sliding doors. The working area is tailored to save steps for the busy homemaker.
A picture window adds to the attractiveness of the exterior, and the large porch provides a sheltered entrance. The attached garage greatly increases the apparent size of the house. If your lot is narrow, however, the garage may be placed elsewhere on the lot or connected at the rear without hurting the proportions of the house.
