Same Old Ideas in the New Trend

In the center of the h venient to the: front and doors is the kitchen, There is a a very attractive breakfast nook built in a bay shape that matches the front of the dining room. The two bedrooms with cross ventilation and walk-in closets are at the left with the bath convenient to all parts of the house. This latter room has both tub and stall shower. The service entrance and stairs leading to the full basement are next to the kitchen. The basement contains the same amount of floor space as the first floor and there is room here for a large recreation area, heating, laundry, storage and even a work or hobby room. This week's home is not the cheapest type of construction but it has beauty and is very salable.
