This ranch home extraordinary is casual, informal and ofiers a flexiblc plan which lets parente and children live together in harmony.

For the growing family, this design really has many advantages. The kitchen-family room is separated from the living-dining room which makes it possible for the adults to entertain in the livingdining area while teenagers or children can enjoy the informality of the kitchen-family room and the adjoining patio.

Used-brick veneer has been used on both sides of the double front doors which open to the wide entry. The entry is well lighted through glass in the top of these cross-buck doors. The traffic circulation in this home is exceptionally good as all rooms are accessible from the entry.

The water heater and forced air furnace have been located in the garage to provide additional closet space in the house. Notice that there are five closets ofi the hall. The operational noise of these units is not so noticeable in the garage, and they are also easier to service in the garage. Besides having its own private bath, the master bedroom also boasts a dressing room. Both this bath and the family bath have pullman lavatories with storage below.

The living room fireplace has been placed on an outside wall so as to save space in the room. By having no division between the dining- and living rooms, this area becomes a spacious and more versetile place to entertain.

The rear kitchen-family room with its adjoining patio is an area where children can play and where all members ofthe familv and their friends can enjoy an informal atmosphere. The sliding'glass doors opening to the patio make this room appear much largJr ihan its already ample size.

The kitchen lies conveniently between the dining area and the family room. A long eating bar is for family mials. The wide pantry means fewer shopping trips to your favorite market.

Vertical and horizontal siding, wood roofing and a used brick planter combine to form a pleasing exterior llatlonwlde Plan Eoolr Co.
