I HIS OUTSTANDING three bedroom home has been planned for both a small budget and a small lot. Here is really an exciting example of what can be accomplished in a design of less than a thousand square feet. The more one studies this home the more convinced they become that there is an unusual amount of comfort, convenience and livability concentrated in this well planned design.

One of the more outstanding features of this house is its dramatic and striking exterior design. The highly appealing exterior relies heavilyand handsomelyon the use of wood, glass and brick. The front porch and step are brick as is the low planter extending {rom the porch, across the front of the house to the carport.

The right side of the carport consists of a deep storage wall where we have located two wide storage closets, a closet for the location of the washer and dryeror laundry trayand a water heater closet. Perhaps you have different ideas as to how you prefer to utilize this generous storage space.

Open planning has been utilized to make this plan appear as large as possible. The dining area at the front of the kitchen is completely open to the living room. This area is further tied together with an open beam ceiling. Typical ceilings have ,been specified for the remainder o{ the house.

No kitchen can truthfully be called modern today unless it has built-in appliances. This kitchen has the usual built-ins plus a dishwasher. To more centralize the plumbing installation and economize in construc- tion costs, the sink has been located on the wall next to the bath.

Please send me complete information about the special volume discounts to retail dealers, on complete working plans and a full selection of home plan books.

The bath offers an enclosed tub with sliding doors and shower. The water heater is only a few feet away so there will never be a long wait for hot ,water. A combination ceiling fixture consists of a light, fan and heater.

There is an abundance of wall space in all three bedrooms for arransement of furniture.
