I I HERE'S plenty of design interest in this home-the kind that makes one house a stand-out in any neighborhood. It also provides an uncluttered plan that combines good looks, comfort and livability.

The unigue oriental styling of the exterior has been achieved by combining several design features. The cedar shake roof-which could be replaced by shingles if economy is necessary-has two difierent roof slopes. A false beam projects from the top of each roof gable. Stone veneer is specified on both the garage and house while the same stone has been used in forming several difierent shaped and }eight planters. The windows are framed by heavy pieces of vertical wood on the front elevation and are also used between the windows to form panels of stucco. If preferred, this stucco can be replaced with vertical wood siding. The same vertical pattern has been used on the garage door.

From the entry door, which is protected from the elements. there is convenient circulation to all rooms of the house.

The kitchen and its generous cabinet space are located so as to serve both the over-sized nook and the dining area with ease and efficiency. The nook is well lighted by corner louver windows.

The forced air furnace and water heater are in the garage. The garage which is now directly connected to the house could be separated by a breezeway during construction if the lot is of sufficient width.

The outstanding feature of this home is the large combined living room-dining area. Wide sliding glass doors which let in ;unshine and provide a view of the outdoors lead from this room as well as the master bedroom and den to the spacious rear patio.

The family and master bath are backto-back and both have pullman lavatories.

The master bedroom has two wardrobes. A shoulder high window provides cross ventilation without interfering with furniturc arrangement.
