The Hillcrest. Plans, sketches and interior photos provided.

 


THE HILLCREST is a wonderful home in the middle-price bracket.

The cost for this 60'x34' dwelling is only $25,000, is a split level home designed for a minimum plot of 75'x125'.

The architect chose a combination of wood shingle and stone for the siding and the roofing is asphalt shingle, interior finish is of plaster, while the house is completely insulated with rock wool. The house has a basement and attached garage. The heating system in this home is of a forced air design. The windows throughout are steel casement and the flooring is oak.





As we enter The Hillcrest the vestibule has its own guest closet. To the right is the large living room—15'-6"x23'-0"-with a fireplace. The dining area is an "L” off the living room and measures a roomy 10'-6''x12'-0". In the corner of the dining room is a large corner window with a beautiful view of the rear gardens.



The kitchen with its steel cabinets and Formica work tops is 10'-4"x11-2". The "work” has been taken out of this kitchen because of the wonderfully convenient layout and the cheerfully located picture window over the sink.

On the first floor level there is a powder room with a lavatory and sink which is a great asset to comfortable living.

The upstairs level has three bedrooms and bathroom. The master bedroom is 14'-0"x14'-2"'; this room lends itself to very graceful furniture arrangements. The walk-in closets have flush doors. One wall has four large windows for plenty of light and ventilation.




The second bedroom is 12-0"x14'-2". Windows in this room are ranch-type and allow for easy placement of furniture without loss of wall space. There are two separate closets in this room.

The third bedroom, 10'-6"x12'-1", has three windows overlooking the gardens to the rear of the house.

The bathroom on the second floor level is very attractive. There is a stall shower, tub, lavatory and built-in Formica vanity. This custom-made feature adds real and lasting beauty to this room.

The lower level of The Hillcrest has many wonderful features. The garage, 18-8"x20'-0", is oversized, leaving plenty of room for a workbench or hobby set-up away from the actual living quarters. To the rear of the garage, the study can be used many ways: as a playroom, a studio, workshop, television room or just a spare room for weekend guests. This split-level is so well proportioned it would fool the casual observer into thinking it a much smaller house than it is.
