OU'LL SPEND many evenings looking at house plans before you locate one with more outstanding characteristics than the one illustrated here.

The exquisite rustic ranch exterior results from a symphony of such features as attractive diamond pane windows; the exlension of the main house roof past the bay at the front o{ the bedroom-bath wing; the use of corbels and shutters at the bay; the used brick planters and chimney and the repetition of the shutter design on the garage door.

Most of the 'outdoor soil can be washed ofi at the service bath before it can be brought into the house-a great worksaver for any homemaker. The family bath is in the bedroom wing as well as the master bedroom private bath. Both of these baths have pullman lavatories with an abundance of storage.

The kitchen has absolutely everything, including a very generous-sized dining area. An unusual extra is the table-or desk-with overhead cabinets that partially separate the kitchen from the family room.

The laundry as well as broom and pantry closets are in the service.

Outdoor living has been fully provided at the rear of the home where utmost privacy is assured. Sliding glass doors open to the huge patio from the family room, living room and master bedroom. The roof projects seven feet past the rear wall of the familyJiving rooms. This has been accomplished without the necessity of using posts.

This compact four-bedroom home proves that comfortable and gracious living depends more on thoughtful planning than it does on the size of the home.

The bedrooms, with their multitude of wardrobes, are zoned for privacy and quietness. They are completely separated from the remainder of the home bv the hall and a wardrobe.
