Wings Add Width To A Modest Colonial House
The House of the Week presents an authentically Colonial design by Rudolph A. Matern. A two-car garage wing and a matching side wing create an illusion of a larger home while the actual footprint stays 869 square feet. The plan centers on a foyer flanked by living and dining rooms, with a rear terrace, breezy bedrooms, and a roof garden atop the garage for private outdoor space. Brick veneer adds elegant curb appeal.
