The clean, contemporary lines of the exterior, in the styling so well-loved in California and other forward-looking states, distinguish this practical bi-level. It's got every contemporary convenience plus the major one of economical construction and maintenance. On the lower level, the two-car garage makes room for storage too. The heater room offers a convenient laundry area. Off to the right, well away from any utilitarian functions is the recreation room, as big as many living rooms, and with a wonderful fireplace, sliding glass wall to a covered patio (the first level balcony provides the cover) and the kind of space that every family with growing children needs more than ever today.
Up the steps from the middle entry foyer is the full scale, no-steps-to-climb living level. Here you have six very handsome rooms. The living room enjoys extra dimensions because of the open foyer area. The dining room behind it functions as a room on its own, but what wonderful combined space the two rooms offer. Out of doors there is the balcony with bi-level steps down to the lower patio, a wonderful addition to summer living. The kitchen has that heart-of-the-house look. Wide work areas are shaped in L-counters and the corner dinette is a bonus of good planning. Back-to-back plumbing installation still means economy and the bathrooms here are back to back (and over the plumbing line of the lower level, too). A lavatory alcove with built-in vanitory is a feature of the hall bathroom, while the master bedroom enjoys its own stall-shower bathroom adjacent to the closet room. Note the wonderful windows in the two front bedrooms and the closet wall—all intended to make the youngsters feel at home.
