Modest high ranch adapts to sloping lots with garage under
Design R-145 in the House of the Week showcases grading flexibility through a full basement with a two‑car garage. Jerold L. Axelrod notes this reduces basement costs by over 50 percent. The low profile facade mixes brick veneer and wood siding with shutters and wide eaves. The interior features a cathedral ceiling living room, brick fireplace, formal dining, and three bedrooms including a master with walk‑in closet and private bath. The basement can be finished later to create a recreation space.
