MKALD AND Newt, Kimr alh, OnM i i. mt rati THE HOUSE OF THE WEEK Mouse that Helps Pay For Itself r DAVID L. BOWEN As most home owners know, tlie worst thing ahout owning a house is making the monthly payments. Tliis design takes even that formidable financial (act of lile into account. It is arranged, to provide tlie owner wim 1.310 com- fortahlc square feet of living area on tlie first floor. Upstairs, there's an unusually attractive apartment which should yield in rent a healthy share of the monthly payment on the mod- gage. Of course, if vou have both a big family and a big budget, you could build tlie home as a one-family liouse and develop tlie second floor as an expansion at tic. In this case, you would get two extra bedrooms one of them luxuriously equipped' with fire place and dressing room and two extra baths. Tlie arrange ment would be particularly happy when the family included grand parents, who usually want some privacy of their own while re maining an integral part of the family group. However it's handled, the sec ond floor in this 1'4 story house adds Bill sq. ft. of living space to the first floor total. Architect Rudolph A. Matern created B-45 in tlie House of the Week scries, aiming primarily at the two family goal. Each floor has its own private foyer, with an additional common foyer at the main entrance serving as a convenient traffic hub. Location of the stairway to the basement off the common foyer gives both families access to bcIow-grauY-storage and utilities. The second - floor apartment has an eflicicnt step-saving kitch en with close-by, compact dining space. Tlie living room is good si.cd and has in addition to the fireplace a balcony off tlie tri angular shaed window wall. B-45 is 48' 2" in width by 28' 7" in depth.
