The kitchen is of sufficient size to accommodate a table and four chairs, a handy place for the children to eat their lunches. There is a pleasant window directly over the sink which lights up this work area. Stairs lead from the kitchen to} the service entrance and on down into the basement. The fact that there are no turns from the basement to the service entrance makes {it extra convenient for carrying bulky laundry from the basement to the outdoor drying yard. : :

The bathroom is located between the left rear bedroom and the living room, which makes it convenient : to guests, as well as the regular occupants of the home. The stairs leading up are almost directly opposite the downstairs bathroom. The plans show the upstairs as unfinished, but there is sufficient room there for an additional two bedrooms and bath. These partitions are only standard building procedure and- the reason the plans show this area as unfinished is so that this space may be finished in the number of rooms and size to fit the individual desires.
