So many young families looking for house
today are forced into a strict building pat
tern that doesn't fit their true needs. Three
bedrooms are the rule, on one floor or two
floors, but always the number "three." Yet
most families either don't need three bed
rooms to begin with, or need more than
three bedrooms for complete comfort. You
are forced to pay tremendous premium
for this unnecessary room while it isn't
being used, plus prohibitive cost for adding
additional sleeping quarters when a third
child arrives or Mother comes to stay.
Hungerford Towne expandable Cape Gods
answer all these problems with wonderful
design for living. If your family only needs
two bedrooms now, you can add third
and even a fourth bedroom, plus a second
bath, when the time comes. Do it yourself
or We'll do it for you now! Best of all, the
money-saving Hungerford Towne expanda-
BILE plan makes it possible for you to get
many extra expensive refinements that
ordinarily come in much higher priced
houses. When YOU see the beautiful Hunger
ford Keeping Room living room with old
fashioned raised hearth fireplace and large
modern studio windows, and the magnifi-
cent Hungerford kitchen with custom-built
wall oven, you'll know how luxurious low
priced house can become!
