All-America Homes 1959 - plan #75

 


A split-level plan intended for a small, level property that will be economical to build. Every inch of space is utilized to the utmost with an open plan to effect spaciousness. 

The small kitchen makes work easy while a 16 ft. counter provides working area for a helper, and the cabinets beneath supply generous space for china, linen, etc. Cabinets above and below sink are for kitchen utensils and packaged foods.

A rear door from the dining room could open to a terrace. Eight steps lead down from the entrance hall to a large activity room, while five steps lead up to living room. The wall between these rooms is low for space freedom.

The best use of space has been achieved by exposing enough foundation to permit good windows downstairs. They glide open as do other windows throughout the house. Foundation is set back one foot from the main floor, which with proper planting will make an attractive house. If your property has a rear grade the activity room at the rear could have even larger windows. Roof is well ventilated and has wide overhangs, especially over the recessed entrance. Carport may be enclosed for those who prefer a garage. Remainder of plan covers 852 sq. ft. Complete structure is 44 ft. wide.
