Story-and-a-Half Design Provides Roomy House at Low Cost
William A Radford discusses a story-and-a-half residence offering ample space with economy of construction. The design centers on a roomy living area, a dining room, efficient kitchen, stairs to basement and upper floor, three second-floor bedrooms, and a central passage. Exterior features include a curved walk, pergola, painted fence, window boxes, and a broad porch with a fireplace chimney. The 26 by 35 feet plan aims for comfort, accessibility for elderly residents, and attractive grounds to enhance value.

It cites laundry bathroom use, showers, and the savings from bigger pipe size. It also recommends brass piping, a shut off valve near the cellar entry, and water softeners for hard water to improve efficiency and future connections.
