PLAN P-273—House area, first floor 845 sq. ft., future expansion attic 450 sq. ft. Double economy is offered in this two-way expansion home. The $1\frac{1}{2}$ story house is a true construction cost saver, particularly when it is rectangular in shape and is size-designed to fit standard lumber and material lengths. The two-way expansion possibilities add tremendous value and are another economical feature of this small lot home . . . expansion upwards under an already constructed roof is inexpensive and simple enough for the home mechanic to do. Space for two additional bedrooms and a bath has been provided to be built when needed. Expansion downwards into the already constructed basement is another economical and uncomplicated project. Here living possibilities may be increased by the addition of a family room, den, shop and storage area.
