DHA • Decatur Housing Authority • 423-7711

KAEMPFERI (336-050)

A large workshop, separate from the garage, is includ-

ed in the floor plan of the Kaempferi (336-050), a

compact single-level home with a country style front

porch. Economical to build, this home is well suited

to the needs of first-time homebuyers, singles, or

empty nesters. And it can be adapted for wheelchair

accessibility.

Family living areas are at the front, bedrooms at the

back. The vaulted ceiling gives a sense of spacious-

ness to the living room. A five-sided bay window

brightens the living room and creates an interesting

recess for plants, a specially designed couch, a couple

of easy chairs - the possibilities are endless. The liv-

ing room also has a door that opens onto a small

deck.

Most homes this size have two bathrooms, but this

one has three. The one next to the garage comes in

handy for clean-up when clothes and shoes are grubby

from working in the shop or garden.

A work island, with a built-in range and oven, aug-

ments counter space in the kitchen. Other features

include a large walk-in pantry, broom closet, and

built-in dishwasher. Sink and dishwasher are nestled

into a bay window that faces the street. Some families

might prefer to outfit the adjacent space as a family

room, rather than a dining room.

Luxury touches in the master suite include a huge

walk-in closet, oversized shower and twin basins in

the dressing area. A glass door opening off the main

suite area provides access to the deck.

The utility room has cabinets and a long counter for

folding clothes. It can be entered from the back yard,

as well as from the interior hallway. Although not

included in the plan, another deck could be built

behind the home.

A skylight brightens the main bathroom and a large

linen closet is across the hail, next to the coat closet

by the entry. Bedroom three, which is accessible

from the kitchen, could be used as a home office,

hobby room, or you-name-it, if a third bedroom is not

needed.

For a study plan of the KAEMPFERI (336-050), send

$15.00, to Landmark Designs, 33127 Saginaw Rd. E.,

Cottage Grove, OR 97424 or call 1-800-562-1151. Be

sure to specify plan name and number. Compact

KAEMPFERI (336-050)

A large workshop, separate from the garage, is includ-

ed in the floor plan of the Kaempferi (336-050), a

compact single-level home with a country style front

porch. Economical to build, this home is well suited

to the needs of first-time homebuyers, singles, or

empty nesters. And it can be adapted for wheelchair

accessibility.

Family living areas are at the front, bedrooms at the

back. The vaulted ceiling gives a sense of spacious-

ness to the living room. A five-sided bay window

brightens the living room and creates an interesting

recess for plants, a specially designed couch, a couple

of easy chairs - the possibilities are endless. The liv-

ing room also has a door that opens onto a small

deck.

Most homes this size have two bathrooms, but this

one has three. The one next to the garage comes in

handy for clean-up when clothes and shoes are grubby

from working in the shop or garden.

A work island, with a built-in range and oven, aug-

ments counter space in the kitchen. Other features

include a large walk-in pantry, broom closet, and

built-in dishwasher. Sink and dishwasher are nestled

into a bay window that faces the street. Some families

might prefer to outfit the adjacent space as a family

room, rather than a dining room.

Luxury touches in the master suite include a huge

walk-in closet, oversized shower and twin basins in

the dressing area. A glass door opening off the main

suite area provides access to the deck.

The utility room has cabinets and a long counter for

folding clothes. It can be entered from the back yard,

as well as from the interior hallway. Although not

included in the plan, another deck could be built

behind the home.

A skylight brightens the main bathroom and a large

linen closet is across the hail, next to the coat closet

by the entry. Bedroom three, which is accessible

from the kitchen, could be used as a home office,

hobby room, or you-name-it, if a third bedroom is not

needed.

For a study plan of the KAEMPFERI (336-050), send

$15.00, to Landmark Designs, 33127 Saginaw Rd. E.,

Cottage Grove, OR 97424 or call 1-800-562-1151. Be
