Sunshine feolures New Home

-/ Plan Utilizes Many Windows

WHY NOT start letting the sunshine into your life through the many windows this picturesque house has to offer you? This house would be equally charming in the city or out in the country. ¢ It does not nec essarily take a corner lot to start thinking | about building it, since the entrance is right in the middle of the front of the house. No basement is needed as the

heating unit #s recessed in the | utility ‘room, which can be |

reached by going down three steps from the kitchen. No darkness hides here either, gince there are two windows.

For people who like to have their dining area by itself rather than combined with the kitchen or front room, this plan offers a large area right off the kitchen which is ideal for entertaining. A large picture window on the back wall will bring the beautiful garden in the backyard right into your home. At one's leisure, the terrace could be built in the back, which will be ideal for summer meals and perhaps a barbecue pit and rock garden. The flower boxes in front of your. home could be filled with seasonal flowers, which could be enjoyed inside and also beautify the living room through the large picture window. Here is one house that certainly has lots of closet space. Look at huge ones in the bedroom, which are ideal. for current wardrobes, as well as storage of off-season garments. «a x = ’

JUST THINK, you don’t even have to take them off the

hangers. The linen closet in the hall is accessible to both bedrooms and handy to the bathroom. Even the dinette-kitchen and utility rooms have closets I. SAI
