The floor plan is intended to give owners privacy by placing their bedroom adjacent to den and away from the children's wing. Parents' bath acts as powder room and guest bath, while the children's bath is at the service end of the house. Their bedrooms, bath, kitchen and basement playroom lead to the same hall, to divert outdoor-indoor traffic away from remainder of the house. Triple-duty den sleeps guests, makes room for overflow guests when entertaining. Foyer and den flow into living room, windows in the latter being continuous with those in den. A glass door to terrace corresponds with windows. A brick radio cabinet juts from the fireplace wall on the right, making a graceful break in an otherwise severe wall. Exterior is brick veneer over frame. The living room has wood sash windows with large gliding panes. All other sash are aluminum. House is 53 feet wide, plus 14 feet for garage, and covers 1,600 square feet. Basement consists of playroom under living room, laundry under kitchen.
A combined living-dining area adds to the feeling of space and provides more room when entertaining. Bar opens to kitchen counter by way of louvred doors. Note glass shelves for glassware and refrigerator adjacent to the counter. Book shelves flank the doors.
Weldtex headboard, dado and hung-cabinets are built into wall of parents' bedroom. Twin beds are dressed as one, and the cornices and one wall are papered.
The fireplace gives the impression of being free-standing when seen from the living room, optically dividing a large room into living room, den and foyer. Brick is carried around and exposed in den, and there is no door dividing the two rooms, although one could be added if desired. Foyer doors of opaque glass have clear glass panels at eye level. Note T.V. over stair well. Weldtex headboard, dado and hung-cabinets are built into wall of parents' bedroom. Twin beds are dressed as one, and the cornices and one wall are papered.
