PLAN P-642—House area 1436 sq. ft. On living and bedroom levels. King size living in an average sized home . . . because the split level design offers extra space. Consider the lower foyer level with its garage, porch, shop and darkroom. To provide these bonus areas in another type of house would require that much additional building tacked on the outside . . . larger house — more cost. Review the other features: Privacy for bedrooms being elevated from living level — windows well above street level — only partial stair flights to climb — a play area porch for the kiddies directly on grade reducing house traffic — interesting observation windows connecting family room and lower porch — basement of sensible size under living level-outdoor living areas for both levels (formal and informal if desired) — and a score of other features. Exterior is professionally designed for beauty and charm. Boards and battens, vertical boards and brick are expertly positioned for long lasting interest.

PLAN P-592—area of living and bedroom levels, 1,302 sq. ft. without porches or balcony. Good handling of the frequently awkward side-to-side split-level results in a handsome house, transitional in general styling. Living level gable is extended to shelter a front walkway; it is an important part of the over-all design. As with all side-to-side splits, front lawn must be graded to correct contours to make the house look right on the site. Outdoor living plentiful at every level—one porch opens off living and dining room; family room has porch and terrace; bedrooms have a balcony. Front entrance is at the lower grade level; the few broad steps leading to upper foyer and living room serve to make the entrance more impressive. Admirable circulation—steps down to family room level are set both front and rear of the flight leading from living to bedroom level. Really generous storage, located to take care of every household need. Compact kitchen arrangement; traffic through one corner does not interfere with work here. The single bathroom at the bedroom level is treated to separate tub and shower and dual lavatories, the better to serve the whole family. Laundry and half-bath are located directly below main bath, for plumbing economy.

PLAN P-574—House area 1953 sq. ft. Interesting and unusual living features dominate this design and compliment the efficient layout . . . master bedroom is a suite with connecting study and private bath — family room can double as 4th bedroom if required — rear covered porch is recessed for ultimate in privacy (has access from study and family room) — side porch is combination covered and open patio, brick wall maintains privacy and allows use of complete wall of glass doors in dining room — refreshment bar in dining room has access door, sink and draw curtain — one entire kitchen wall is windowed. Zoning of areas is expertly done providing privacy for sleeping, formality for living and efficiency for service. Note how the circulation pattern keeps unnecessary traffic from crossing rooms to get to another. Several other features are evident as the plan is studied . . . front vestibule and foyer — sunken living room — multitude of closets — double lavatory in bath — storage and work bench in garage. The exterior shows the result of long and careful designing. The brick all around adds solidity to the impressive appearance and reduces maintenance cost. The picture above accurately describes how this lovely home will look in a community or in its own private setting.
