EUGENE REGISTER GUARD, Sunday, April 21, 1963 Fags 111 House of the Week S. Modern Bi-Level Has Stately Grace ' By JULES LOH Of the Auoclited Preti To complete the picture all this house needs is a white jacketed butler standing at the massive double doors be neath those stately columns. You almost can catch the aroma of magnolia and mint julep. The elegant circular stair case in the entrance oyer adds another touch on ante bellum charm. So does the grand fireplace in the living room, and the luxurious bal cony stretching across the rear. But there are visions of the 19th century end, because the room arrangement and over-all interior layout of this house was designed clearly to meet space age needs in cluding the high cost of liv ing. The house is the product of Imaginative and economy minded architect Lester Co hen. It is design J-70 in the House of the Week series. It's a 10-room house of bl level construction, containing four bedrooms, three baths, a huge family room-k i t c h e n combination in front and a spacious living room and for mal dining room in the rear; and on the lower level an enormous recreation room with den, laundry room, and oversized two-car garage com plete with a hobby alcove. All this is packaged effici ently in a basic area of 1,667 square feet and over-all di mensions of 60' wide by 29' deep. The exterior is Southern traditional, a style character ized by both grandeur and warmth. Architect Cohen used white painted brick to high light the wings in front. .Dou ble windows on the main por tion of the house, shutters on all -indows and a flagstone portico and front walk com plete the picture. Circulation of traffic throughout the house is ex cellent. Both the living room and dining room occupy "dead-end" positions so neith er has to be used as a pasage way. The main level has a side entry in addition to the mid-level main entry, and there are two exterior entrys to the lower level through the garage and from the rear terrace to the recreation room. Additional Details The open spiral staircase besides being an exquisite fea ture in itself also eliminates the "closed" feeling of many split-entry foyers. In this house there is clear vision both up and down the six step flights; and from the J-70 Statistics A 10-room bi-level home containing three baths, tour bedrooms, family room-kitchen combination, living room, dining room,' built-in garage, recreation room, laundry, den.

There is direct access to it from the master bedroom as well as the living and dining rooms, and at the, latter the balcony is wide enough for outdoor . dining. Moreover the balcony serves as an outdoor link between the living and dining rooms, an especially good feature on 2 'Til f - occasions of formal entertain ing. Dominating the living room is the fireplace, with a built in television or hi-fi cabinet beside it. 1 The family room-kitchen, more than 24' from end to end, is well placed at the front of the house and has a side entrance which probably will get more use than the main entry. Three bedrooms are on the main level, plus a family bath- V ;'Ji-HiM'i'TO minim.. I iiinMM.,M..i..nii.i.i.u ipuann ' s - i If; r v$ M if, " , ; Ssw Fb " 'J , " "-r id . .

The master bedroom has its own adjoining bath with stall shower; and the plumbing is back-to-back for economy. All the bedrooms - have ample closet space. Downstairs is a fourth bed room and a third full bath an excellent arrangement for guests or in-laws if the family doesn't need the extra sleep ing space. Storage facilities are ex cellent throughout this house. . One area that might be over looked is the lower level space beneath the spiral stair case. Closets are abundant; a nice sized one on the - mid level foyer, a corner closet near the service entry, and plenty of shelf space in the garage. Floor Plans Tnere are 10 rooms in this house, in a basic area of 1,667 square feet and over all dimensions of 60' wide by 29' deep. Note the abundance of storage space not only closets but also -the large area beneath the spiral staircase and the ex tra shelf room in the oversige garage. Decor Hints Told For Small Rooms The dramatic spiral staircase in this C 1 house not only is exquisite in itself but ODira.1 a'so serves ine purpose of eliminating " . any "closed" feeling found in many Qfoivo split-entry foyers. There is clear vision aJlCUId both up and down the six-step circular flights. NEW YORK (UPD Smaller room sizes are making it in-'-creasingly difficult to 'get proper proportion in interior decorating schemes, accord ing to a New York interior designer. Designer Jay Dorf makes these suggestions to cope with decreased space: Bring the eye down and keep it there. This means low scale low-backed chairs, low tables, low everything. Create an illusion of height by using vertical lines, placing pictures lower on the wall and hanging light fix tures low. Use diminutive accessor ies: low and petite flower ar rangements, short candelabra and candles and small-scaled lamps. Sculptured works and other art objects should be delicate and unobtrusive. Use area rugs to focus the eye on a small area, while still leaving a good deal of floor space showing. Keep walls and ceilings light, and alternate light and dark shades throughout the room. Use the darker shades on larger units. BLACK ROTTED MANURE A rich black soil conditioner, Black Rotted Manure is a mulch as well as a fertilizer. Consisting of black rotted compost, it i good tor muicning gardens, shrubs, lawns, and landscaping. Apply a 3 inch layer around shrubs or garden plants as a mulch. There is no offensive odor with Black Rotted Manure and its rich black color is at tractive to the eye. call now for delivery . . . Dl 4-8969 ORGANIC FERTILIZER CO.
