A modern bi-level home, in quiet good taste and showing a fine example of what imaginative styling can accomplish. The exterior presents an interesting contrast of planes and angles, shingles and board siding, big windows and a stunning front entrance, which is sheltered by a roof extension. The foyer, which is well lighted, has stairs to the lower level and stairs to the main level. There is a convenient coat closet in the center hall, and a large linen closet near the bedrooms. A two-car garage on the lower level has an inside door that opens near an oversize storage closet and a sunny laundry room. The rest of the lower level is devoted to a great big playroom, complete with windows on two sides, a fireplace, a lavatory and sliding glass doors that open on a play terrace.
From the terrace there are stairs leading up to a gracious balcony where a second set of sliding glass doors lead into the dining room. Thus there are four separate entrances to the house, a very important factor in safety and convenience. We picture the terrace as an informal play area — a fair weather partner to the family play room, and the balcony, all decked out with potted plants and some elegant outdoor furniture, as a summertime living-dining room. Of course, no matter what the weather, you will cheer the large living room and dining room extension. A pleasure to decorate, a joy to entertain in, with a decorative railing overlooking the foyer and impressive window areas at each end. In the kitchen one corner is reserved for a dinette, the rest is a model of planned efficiency.
The centrally located family bath has a vanity sink. Bath 2, with enclosed shower, is in the master bedroom along with a walk-in closet and a big window. Bedroom 2 has cross-ventilation, a large closet; bedroom 3 has a double front window and a large closet. If you prefer modern styling, this house will reflect your good taste.
