JOPPATOWNE: COMPLETE NEW COMMUNITY RISES ON HISTORIC SITE IN MARYLAND Offers Low-Cost Electric Li ving

•'lk um 44 >gK* Electric baseboard heating in this new Joppatowne, Md., home leaves walls free for furniture. The cozy children’s room, above, will be evenly heated and draft-free all winter long. At right are three of five styles of Gold Medallion homes in the new development. From top, they are the Cape Cod, custom rancher, and two-story Colonial. AU are heated electrically.

The largest community of allelectric, Gold Medallion Homes on the East Coast is rising in Joppa, Md. When completed, Joppatowne will include 1,891 individual homes, 590 town houses and 550 garden apartments. All will be heated with electric baseboard units.

During the 1700 s, Joppa, Md., on the banks of the Gunpowder River, rivaled Baltimore as a shipping center. But as Baltimore grew in importance, Joppa declined to the point where it virtually vanished as a communityMedallion Important It’s on this historic site that Panitz Bros. & Co., builders and developers, chose to create a new Joppatowne as a complete community. As planned, it will cover 1,340 acres and will have its own schools, churches, chopping center, marina, a 42-acre park and playground area, sewage treatment and disposal plant, modern roads, water supply and all other essential services. “We have placed considerable emphasis on the fact that Joppatowne homes have been awarded the electric industry’s Gold,Medallion,” builder Stanley Panitz said. “This gives dramatic impact to the fact that we sell quality - built homes. What’s more,” he explains, “we know our buyers will be satified with total electric living, and that’s extremely import-

The double-oven allows her to do a roast at one temperature while baking, broiling or warming food at another. Automatic timer and thermostat free her from ovenwatching and assure foods that are consistently done to a turn. Surface cooking units are available that bring food to a boil then automatically reduce the heat to the chosen cooking level.

ant because rtt leads to future sales.” Nearly 400 homes were sold within five weeks. Meet All Requirements To meet Medallion requirements each Joppatowne home is equipped with a modern electric range, automatic waste disposer, clothes washer, and a 40-gallon quick recovery electric water heater, as well as electric heating. Air conditioning and an electric dryer are optional. The Baltimore Gas and Electric Company has certified that Joppatowne homes also meet Gold Medallion standards for lighting, wiring- for full housepower, numerous electric outlets, and conveniently located switches." One of the development’s most popular features is electric heat. Home buyers have learned that electric heat is comfortably free of drafts and helps keep a house cleaner because there's no smoke and fumes to soil its furnishings. Adequate insulation and storm windows are provided in Joppatowne homes to help keep heating costs down. In addition. Baltimore Gas & Electric Co. has established reduced rates for all-electric homes. Panitz guarantees estimated heating costs, which are based on normal temperature and usage. The estimated heating cost for the three-bedroom, 1,389 square-foot “Rancher” model, for instance, is

Cape Cod «L" »<■ y Custom Rancher '- \ Two-story Colonial $145.00 per year. Altogether, five basic homes are offered at Joppatowne. Each is available jn a choice of three exterior treatments—Colonial, rustic or contemporary — plus two color schemes. Families have a choice of a Cape Cod, a two-story and three ranch styles. Joppatowne homes range in price from $9,500 to $13,500, plus "ground rent,” a practice peculiar to the Baltimore area, where land is not always sold outright to home buyers. At these prices, Joppatwone homes are well within the means of middle-income families. Pre-planning, Panitz said, is a prime reason for the low cost of Joppatowne houses. ‘‘Every detail of the Joppatowne community has been mapped out in advance to avoid problems that might have raised home prices,” he said. “Also, we have taken full advantage of the latest large-scale production techniques.”

WHAT BLUE STAR MEANS Families eager to make the most of their housing dollars are following a new guide to happier home ownership — the Blue Star Home symbol. The Blue Star on a- home means that the builder, architect and gas company have collaborated to provide a home that meets the basic requirements of good planning and modern equipment. Blue Star Homes are being built in all parts of the United States today, the American Gas Association reports. They range in price from the very expensive all the way down to the lowest price consistent with the sound standards that resourcefulness, efficiency and good planning can provide for the many families of moderate means. The gas industry, working in cooperation with local builders of high reputation, is encouraging the building of homes that meet the needs of more people at lower cost. Good design, good planning and good equipment are among the features being offered. Blue Star Homes are designed to meet the needs of a wide variety of people and incomes. There are homes for those who want to upgrade their living conditions; for newly married couples just starting out; for families who have outgrown their present dwellinges and for older people who want a home tljiat will practically run itself.

Quarry Tile Is And Out Living— Modern quarry tile — aside from well-placed windows and doors—i can do more than anything else to integrate your new home with its surrounding, according to the Tile Council of America. A quarry tile patio within easy access of the kitchen or family game room is one of the most natural, lovely and trouble-free areas in which your family can enjoy„ indcoroutdoor living that has become a “mugt” with active Americans. One reason for quarry tile’s patio popularity is its suitability for use .in the adjacent room, thus integrating the indoors and outdoors with” an unbroken floor of the same material. Colors include green, brown, gold, buff, tan and red — and guarry tile also comes in a variety of textures

and sculptured designs. Aside from its beauty, quarry tile is also permanent and practical. It will last the life of your home and can be cleaned with a simple sweep of the broom or swish of the garden hose. Ease of cleaning is especially important during those months when an active family unavoidably tracks mud and dirt from the garden or play area. A quarry tile “mud room” answers this problem by providing a space just inside the door where boots can be scrapped and removed, and soiled outer clothes put out of the way before the wearer enters the house. For some homes, an outside shower complete with tiled floor and a drain would be an additional home-saver. If some of these work saving and beauty - bonus ideas are not already incorporated in your -new home, plan to add them soon. You’ll save wear and tear on the home, and add extra comfort and livability as well. Ceramic Tile Is Sign Os Quality in a Home How can you tell whether a new house you visit has built-in quality7 Architects and other professional men admit this’ is difficult, because you can’t lift out a wall and see the home’s Sasic structure — the way you can kick the tires or lift the hood of an automobile. But there is one quick, easy way to get an indication of a •home’s quality — take a peek in the bathroom. If the builder used waterproof ceramic tile around the tub and shower, it’s S good indication that he didn’t stint on quality materials. If cheap materials are found there, be wary! They may also be hidden behind the walls throughout the house.

Another good place to check for real tile is in the kitchen. If the builder used quality materials there, it’s all the more assurance that he builds a good house. Ceramic tile has, for good reason. because the most desired allaround surfacing material of today This is because no otheb material can match all of real tile’s qualities — permanence, ease of cleaning, economy, beauty. Home builders know this, and their use of real tile is an indication of their willingness to build quality into their homes.
