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.
Additional Dctaili

plan for the first floor is the big.

en, with tlie dining room just
beyond that both convenient
for meal serving. From the din
ing room, sliding glass doors lead
to an outdoor-living terrace.
Highlights of the big living
room are its fireplace and the
long, attractive front window.
Traffic circulation aided by the
foyers and hall is good. One of
the two downstairs bedrooms has
two closets and tlie other five
closets.
Stone and shingles are com
bined to present a pleasing ex
terior appearance. Tlie roof in
front is unbroken by dormers,
giving the impression of greater
length and a low-to-the ground
modern look. Front entry is shel
tcrcd by a small porch.
