HERE is a three-bedroom house that should appeal to the conservative home builder. The exterior is in brick featured by a bay window in the living room, and the garage is detached.
The front entrance is dignified and in excellent taste, and enters directly into a living room, the principal feature of which is the picture window on one side and the fireplace on the other. An unusual feature of the living room is an alcove for books. This enters a bedroom which can easily be converted into a study or den. Adjacent to the living room is the dining room, with exposures on two sides, and separated from the living room by sliding doors.
Between the dining room and the kitchen is the breakfast room, accessible from the hall and equipped with a built-in sideboard and corner china cabinets. The kitchen, which adjoins the breakfast room, has the usual kitchen appointments.
The bedrooms are of generous size and well ventilated, with large closets and direct connections with baths. One bath is accessible from the hall, for visiting guests. The hall is the center of all activity and contains the usual appointments of telephone desk, mop and broom closet, and linen storage cabinets. The garage is located directly back of the house, is connected with the kitchen by means of the service porch, and has in it a laundry and toolroom. This garage may be placed anywhere else on the site, if you wish. A design of landscaping is suggested for the garden lover, and the toolroom can easily be adapted to a workroom by installation of necessary facilities.
