This easy going, easy living ranch house has a well designed floor plan and a very handsome exterior. The major part of the house is covered in wood shakes, random cut stone is used for a trim in the front and ornamental iron work sets off the covered flagstone porch. Gardening enthusiasts will welcome the chance to work with foundation plantings, the enclosed front garden and the wide window box. There are several entrances to the house; through the breezeway from the front walk or the attached garage, through the front door and center hall, or through a rear entrance in the family dinette. This house has three bedrooms, one of which is a master bedroom with a private lavatory, double closet with sliding doors and cross-ventilation. Bedroom 2 also has cross-ventilation plus a triple closet with sliding doors, and bedroom 3 has a large closet and a large front window.
The family bath has been designed with a door to the bedroom hall and a second door to the family room, thus doubling its convenience, particularly for children at play outside. Another feature of this dual bath is the powder room unit with vanity sink which can be closed off from the rest of the bath when guests come. A spacious kitchen at the rear of the house is divided into a cooking area and a family room. In addition to the rear entrance and door to the bath, the family room also has stairs to the basement and a dinette space in front of the double windows. The cooking area is compact and easy to work in and it has lots of cupboards and a broom closet for extra storage. The living room, with decorative trellis, bow window with built-in seat, and fireplace with corner hearth combines with the dining room and breezeway to give you a year round entertainment center.
