The exterior is horizont- % ‘4 al siding, with a cedar shake - roof‘and a stylish treatment, df the gable ends. The doubles, Barage doors, and the front? faa coat closet. The foyer, tentral hall, living room and ining room are all on dif- F 4 erent levels for a stylish © diving area. The kitchen, nook ind dining area are on one level, with the family room, study and utility on another. : The living room area will cbe enhanced by the fireplace and bay window. With this Yesign joining the living and ‘dining room both rooms will pppear larger. If open space is not preferred the dining oom could be closed in as required. : The kitchen is conveni- enceina compact design. The ffi icient semi-circle of count- ‘ers and cupboards, as well as in island counter will make ooking a delight. The break- fast nook is next to the food preparation area, with an ypen rail overlooking the family room. An outdoor sundeck, yeached through the sliding ‘glass doors has an eating or serving bar for barbecue sconvenience. The family- room and . Btudy {or extra bedroom) doth have patio doors leading ito the yard. This design in- jeludes a game room beside the utility area. Roughed-in iplumbing is shown on the blueprints for the addition of ‘an extra ground level bath- room in the utility area. ? If required, the down- Btairs study or guest bed- yoom can be eliminated, as the wall.between it and the family room is not a bearing wall. This would give a large family room with two sets of patio doors. ae All four bedrooms are.in . the upper: half. storey. The... imaster bedroom is an ex-- ‘ample of absolute comfort in a design. It includes a walk-in loset,-a three-piece ensuite, den or TV. room which is pen to the stairway, and a iprivate semi-enclosed sun- deck. Two of the other three drooms have built-in desks ‘ith windows ideally located ver the writing surface for ight. All three bedrooms hare the three-piece bath. .
