The Balfour isn't an excep-

garage sideways SO that it flows
right in with the main structure
and seems to be an actual part
of the house proper.
The exterior is a combination
Of brick veneer and stone trim.
The sheltered front entrance
opens to an entry hall-a door,
way at the left leads to the
activities room and furt h e r
ahead, near the living-room
arch. is a guest closet. The COM
bination living-dining room has
a wall of windows overlooking
the garden, with a door at one
side to the rear terrace. There's
also a stone fireplace and two
shadow boxes for ceramics built
into the end wall. Another door
leads from the dining area to
the kitchen.
In the kitchen, everything is
arranged in a compact U-shaped
layout to save steps in meal
preparation. Two windows pro-
vide double exposure. light and
ventilation. From here, a short
passageway, with storage
closet at one side, leads to the
laundry. Mushroom and garage.
The building blueprints of the
Balfour also include an alter
nate basement plan. The base
ment can be constructed at
moderate extra cost, adding to
the living. utility and play space
of this home. No major design
changes are necessary-the base
ment stairs lead from the afore-
mentioned kitchen-laundry pas
sageway. occupying the space
designated here as the storage
closet and heater room.
At the front wall of the all
purpose family activities room is
a picture window flanked on
either side by opening units for
ventilation. This room has its
own fireplace, built back-to-back
with the one in the living room
for greater construction econ
omies. 1t can double also as a
guest room.
Through the entry hall and
opposite the guest closet is a
doorway to the sleeping section
Of the Balfour. Two linen and
storage closets open to the short
hallway, which also has an over
head disappearing stairway lead
ing to storage space under the
roof. Bathroom walls and floor
are finished in tile.
Each Of the two bedrooms has
q double exposure and two ward
robe closets. In addition. the
master bedroom has built-in
drawer and cabinet units at each
end of the storage wall.
