Simplicity - without unneeded decoration - gives this house a handsome, welcoming look. Good proportions gives the house its style. The overhang extends here to shade the windows.
This house succeeds in offering real livability and ucnramped convenience to a big family in only 1.584 square feet of living space.
The core of this arrangement are the two bathrooms, laundry, utility room. If you choose to built this house with a basement, the stairs could fit into the space of the utility room and laundry.
Around the core, the bedrooms are grouped in the quiet end of the house. The bustle of work and play is cocnetrated in the kitchen-family-hobby room area. You could plan a 2-car garage and increase the size of the hobby room at very little extra cost.
The over-all dimensions of the house are 52 feet wide by 36 feet. A 2-car garage would add another 10 feet.
This kind of styling is well adapted to easy application of modern materials. The siding is big sheets of plywood that go up fast; the simle panels above and below window and door openings speed the fitting work there.
One of the best kitchen-family room relationships is shown here. The two areas in this house have just the right amount of separation. There is excelent storage in the wall units at left, even for a few toys for toddlers' play.
Inside traffic is channeled across one corner only, near the door leading to the laundry. And look at the convenient pantry in the kitchen - floor-to-ceiling shelves behind the louvered doors have a huge capacity.
Small, comfortable and colorful this living room can be reserved for adults only, since the larger family room tales most of the wear. There's no through traffic to disturb conversation and the generous amount of space makes severak different furniture arrangements possible. This room is a good example of the customizing touches you can choose when you buy a house like this. The paneling, for instance, could be any type of wood you want. Or instead of the strip wood floor and room-size rug, you can choose parquet blocks and a small area rug.
This well-designed fireplace serves as a coal point for both kitchen and family room. There is space here for a before-dinner gathering of the family and for the dining table just outside this photograph.
The draperies pull across the sliding glass door for a cozy evening by the fire. Or they open to make this part of the house bright and cheery and to bring the back yard and patio within one step of the family room.
Here's the hobby room that takes the pressure off every other room in the house. There's space for any family acticty, from painting to potting - and when a really big project gets under the way, the folding door opens to join this area with the garage.
