This ranch house is just the right size for the average family with two or three children. It also has a wonderful floor plan which will let that family enjoy many at-home activities. At the rear of the center entrance hall there is a spacious family room; with sliding glass terrace doors and a fireplace with extended hearth, this room will prove ideal for informal get-togethers all through the year. The dinette area of the kitchen, designed for informal meals, also has sliding glass terrace doors which open near a barbecue center. The whole terrace is private yet convenient and large enough for real enjoyment. At the far end there is a door which opens on a service area consisting of a storage closet, laundry area and adjacent lavatory. A wide window above the sink in the efficient kitchen affords supervision of the youngsters at play on the terrace or in the yard beyond.
Please note that from the kitchen it is only a step or two to any of the areas where meals may be served. Leaded glass windows add interest to the formal dining room at the front of the house and in the living room beyond there are four full length windows. These two rooms are convenient for formal entertaining from the standpoint of both hostess and guests and may easily be combined for large gatherings. The two family bedrooms are nearly identical; both have double front windows and double closets with sliding doors. The master bedroom has cross-ventilation, a dressing room with four closets and a built-in vanity and a private bath. The family bath is convenient to both bedroom and daytime areas and has a vanity sink. In the hall outside there are three big closets.
On one side of the attached two-car garage there are a built-in work bench, stairs to the basement, a storage closet and door to the service area. At the rear are two big storage rooms, with indoor and outdoor access. An exterior of wood and stone features an eye-catching covered porch and will look wonderful in any setting you choose.
