THIS is a well-planned 2 - 4 bedroom house, with every bit of space put to use. Circulation is good, keeping traffic almost entirely out of the living room and of the kitchen work-area. Wonderful for the family requiring informality and elbow-room.
This modern version of an historic Cape Cod house captures the charm of this colonial architecture. Cedar siding contrasts pleasantly with any surroundings. The overhang of the roof protects windows and doors from the weather. A big living room with a picture window, separate dining room, bath, two bedrooms down, kitchen, foyer and ample closet space. This is a 1 1⁄2 story structure with room for two additional upstairs bedrooms, lighted by 2 or more optional dormer windows.

Designers have put no limit on the livability they built into the Aldair... a daring innovation in contemporary styling.
This "Wright" inspired 74' long low ground-hugging ranch house is original in concept inside and out. For instance, the use of a cast stone grille work at the entrance, adds an accent note to an already pleasant facade. Look at the original use of color panels at the windows and door... the harmonious use of brick and batten... the panoramic window lighting a big handsome living room.
Three good sized well placed bedrooms, isolated recreation room and the basement provide areas where members of a large family can find privacy when they want it. The master bedroom has its own semi-bath.
The living, dining, recreation room and kitchen are grouped to make the most of family living and entertaining. The kitchen is a complete work saver area with all the newest built-in features. The garage has an entrance to cellar and kitchen that is appreciated where there are children.

IN designing this strikingly attractive home, our architects had in mind the family that enjoys the outdoors from both outside and in- side, the space and convenience that moderns love. The long sweeping roof covers the living area, open porch and carport, its wide sheltering overhang gives shade and year 'round weather protection. Beautiful unity and simplicity have been achieved. Open beam cathedral-type ceiling in living and dining areas that looks out through beautifully proportioned floor to roof windows. This truly is ultra modern styling and designed to be "at home" in town or country. It is ideal for small or large lots. A most outstanding home design.
