Todayns home builder is lucky in that he can successfully take advantage of all the new modern mechanical blessings which seience has invented to decrease the amount of household labor and therefore ereate a more leisurely type of living. He can also build an ingenious floor plan which has been designed for privacy and convenience and for the comfort of the family. But, to be truly satisfying, a house must be beautiful in itself, in relation to its environment and to those who will make it their home. We believe this design has all of these qualities and many more.

(hAN No. 3833, 1863 squrnn rnrr)

From the roofed porch, double doors open to a wide entry. To provide better furniture arrangement, a partial wall, with turned posts above, separates the entry room from the living room.

The use of glass sliding doors in both the living and family rooms has brought the outdoors in closer relationship and made it a visual part of both rooms.

The extra large kitchen hes an abundance of storage space, the m'ost modern built-in appliances and a o'king size" eating are&: There is just enough of an opening between the kitchen and family room so that mother can keep an eye on the children or so a conversation can be carried on between the two rooms but not enough so that guests in the family room will have a wide view of a disorderly kitchen.

The service area is extra large and even has room for a table or desk plus a freezer.

The three-quarter bath is accessible from both the family room, kitchen and outside of the house.

All rooms are exceptionally large. Twin beds could be used in all three bedrooms. There is an unusual amount of storage space which includes 12 closets.

Note the arrangement of the luxurious dressing room and bath off the master bedroom. Also, the door leading from this room to the partially roofed patio.

The rustic ranch exterior with its handsome roof lines and bay windows will easily be the most striking home in the neighborhood.
