This ranch house plan displays an outstanding room arrangement of three major living areas plus a spare room at the rear. A covered entry shelters the front door; just inside there is a well lighted foyer, with a coat closet, which leads to all three areas. The family bath, a linen closet and all three bedrooms are to the left; bedrooms 2 and 3 have cross-ventilation and sliding door closets which leave floor and wall space free for furniture arrangements. Four windows give the master bedroom double exposure. A dressing area with a private bath and separate vanity sink, a sliding door closet and a walk-in closet are also included in the design of this comfortable area. Both the living room and the dining room have been located at the front of the house, where they will be most convenient for formal entertaining. Large window areas, plenty of wall and floor space and easy communication between the two rooms without sacrificing any privacy are important features.
More informal gatherings will be enjoyed in the family room. Sliding glass doors along the rear wall open to a spacious terrace area, partially covered for greater comfort. A large fireplace gives the family room a feeling of cozy comfort. The stone of this fireplace wall also adds to the decorative effect of the efficiently designed kitchen. In this most important room there is an up-to-date corner sink, all appliances are within easy reach and a lot of cupboard storage and counter top work space is available. To the rear of the kitchen are stairs to the basement and a charming dinette area, a pantry closet and an outside entry. A service area adjacent includes laundry equipment concealed behind bi-fold doors, a mud closet and a full bath as well as the well-appointed spare room. The attached two-car garage has an inside door and a side door and plenty of extra storage space. Vertical wood siding, stone trim and a long planter combine to give the exterior a sleek, modern appearance.
