Now that new-fashioned families come in old-fashioned sizes, the homestead had better be planned to sleep 'em, feed 'em and provide a haven for harassed parents. Few of the moderately priced houses that we've ever run across do that with such ease as this heartwarmer in which six or even seven kids could grow up happily. In Long Island, it sells for a bargain $19.900 (plus $2.500 if you'd like the attic finished). Equipped with our blueprints and complete list of materials, you can buld it on your own piece of land and that would be a wonderful bargain, too.
Just tot up all of its outstanding merits at least a baker's dozen. (I) Center hall plan nonconflicting areas. (2) A gracious, traffic-free living room with hand-some fireplace. (3) Honest-to-goodness dining room. (4) Well-organized kitchen with plenty of room to serve breakfasts and such. (5) Secluded master bedroom with private bath, and a big walk-in closet. (6) Second bedroom that can really take twin beds. (7) Third downstairs bedroom that easily adapts itself as a nursery, child's room, or den-guestroom. Or you can leave out the wall to create a whopping living room. (8) Second downstairs bath. (9) Exceptionally good expansion attic which takes on third bath plus two really spacious bedrooms not low, cramped, unventilated boxes. Dormer windows go to the back; smart row of front windows means you don't spoil the handsome roofline by expansion. (10) Basement with enough headroom for tall Texans, heels and all, and space for workshop, play-room, and for storage. (11) Good garage opening on to (12) breezeway for out-door meals, and a porch for just settin' and rockin'! (13) Solid frame construction, cedar shingle siding, asphalt roof and scope for the artist in you when it comes to selecting the colors.
