TRULY MODERN LIVING in a well-planned contemporary home is probably the closest approach to old-fashioned comfort in America today. If this statement seems contradictory, examine the fourbedroom Bluebird closely, and your doubts will fade. A wooded setting is the perfect backdrop for this lovely home; its brickcrete and redwood exterior and flat roof (with marble-chip finish) give it a commanding appearance from any angle.
A flagstone walk leads to the sheltered front entrance; inside, a guest powder room and guest closet are to the left of the front door, while a broad archway lends admittance to the extremely large living room. The well-lighted living room and adjoining areas are a masterpiece of design: note especially the flagstone and terrazzo finish flooring, which serves to unite the living room, dining area and the unique enclosed garden.
A two-sided copper-hooded fireplace serves both the living room and the garden. A flagstone patio is reached through the dining room's double entrances, while the ceiling-to-floor windows afford excellent and constant views of the patio and the enclosed garden.
The stairwell leading "down" will become the location for the radiant-heating plant if a slab floor is used instead of a full basement.
The six-windowed kitchen-laundry boasts a center-island cooking unit and cypress wall cabinets; optional arrangements are on the floor plan. A handy seryice bar dividing kitchen, garden and dining room is an aid to the modern hostess.
The sleeping area is a delight to the eye of the functional-minded; there is no waste hall space. Extra space is given over to a family living room, which can be extended to include the center bedroom if only three bedrooms are needed. All bedrooms are equipped with huge sliding door wardrobe closets.
A separate bath serves the master bedroom to relieve the usual morning rush. The two-car detached garage is connected to the home by a practical and beautiful carport.
So much for the guided tour through this home. It is important to decide if this home will give you all you could wish for in living comfort, economy and an appearance that will always remain relatively timeless.
If you have a taste for old-world elegance, but not for old-world discomfortthis is the home for you. If you're weary of viewing so-called "modern” homes and are searching for something that will be modern in its living comforts for the rest of your life-this is again the home for you.
Probably the two most distinctive things about The Bluebird are the indoor garden and the family living room located off the bedroom section. Collapsible doors are further made use of to insure privacy when wanted and extra space when needed.
For a permanent feeling of luxury while dining, the elegant interior garden cannot be surpassed the garden can be viewed to advantage from three sections of the home, including the dining room.
Another functional feature that also saves needless building expense is the combination kitchen and laundry. The architect rightly sees an association in home work tasks, and has combined the two rooms into one large area.
