This lovely two story home is a welcome change for the family that is looking for an unusual floor plan. Every room has a fresh design approach and they all combine to make a wonderful whole. From the outside the house presents an appearance of solid charm, with classic wood shingles and brick veneer set off by shuttered windows and a double front door. The sparkling diamond paned windows in the door help to light the foyer, and the planter next to the entry adds another welcome note. Both the living room and the dining room are spacious, well lighted, and convenient for entertaining formally. For the more informal get-togethers there is an Early American room, with a large cheerful fireplace as a dominant note, and two windows and a door facing on the terrace.
The terrace is, of course, optional, but it certainly would be a joy to have, and it would make an excellent play area for the children. This house also has a covered porch; with a door to the attached two car garage and another door to the kitchen it makes a convenient passway from garage to house. It could also be easily screened or glassed in for use as a summer dining room. Three big windows in the dinette make it easy to enjoy a view with the family meals.
The well organized kitchen has a serving counter, an angled sink, and an excellent arrangement of cabinets and work areas. The lavatory has been centrally located, convenient to all rooms. In the master bedroom there is a private bath with an enclosed shower and vanity sink, a walk-in closet, a second closet and three windows for cross-ventilation. The other two corner bedrooms have cross-ventilation too, plus large closets with sliding doors. The fourth bedroom has a built-in book shelf, two windows, and a closet with sliding doors. In the family bath there is a full tub and a vanity sink. There is a linen closet on each floor, a pantry closet in the kitchen and a coat closet in the foyer.
