Here's a colorful architect-owner designed house, without basement or attic that gives you six good rooms, two baths, and lots of closet space at moderate cost.
One enters the house from the long, covered porch and proceeds to any part of the house without cutting across the living room or disturbing the privacy of the sleeping quarters. Kitchen equipment is so planned that food is stored, prepared, and served without lost motion. The well-located utility room, containing the heating plant, electric water heater, laundry and storage units, is accessible from the central corridor and the owner's study. There is also a private outside entrance to the study as well as the door from the utility room.
A sloping ceiling in the living room makes the room seem far larger than it really is, and a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, of the same brick used outside, keeps down costs. Sliding aluminum windows, ample closets with sliding doors, indirect fluorescent lighting, steel cabinets in the kitchen, a bath and dressing room for each bedroom, are some of the major comforts Mr. Rush has been able to incorporate in his economical, but distinctive little home. The dining area in the living room is planned for easy service from the kitchen and is in no way disturbing to the conversational grouping of furniture around the fireplace wall. The ample kitchen provides room for a table and four chairs facing a window. The master bedroom, 15' x 5', is beautifully proportioned to take furniture as now arranged or for future rearrangement a luxury seldom found in a small house! Note please, two closets as well as another in the dressing room. The smaller bedroom doubles as sleeping quarters and a study, with a closet in the hall that leads to a private bath. The study is so planned that a hall can be built through the smaller bed-room to convert the study into a third bedroom with access to the second bathroom.
