LUCKY THE BRIDE who calls this home. With or without basement, each plan has high merits. Living room with dining alcove, a combination of good things of life: fireplace, broad multiple front window graced by built-up flower box, dining space with oversized window will open on future breezeway with barbecue. Smartly-planned kitchen with laundry adjoining in basementless plan, or laundry can be placed in basement. Three bedrooms. Bath off hall. Generous storage. Exterior: cheerful simplicity and quiet dignity.
