Better Homes and Gardens 5 Star Home

This house was built from plans featured in The Better Homes and Gardens magazine "Five Star Home Plans" program which ran in the fifties and sixties. It has been extremely well cared for and has retained almost all of its' original character and quality and is a very good example of the casual and open plan living made popular in that era. The current owner purchased it from the original owners family.

Situated on large lot (9047 sq ft per county records), the house is tucked into the slope of the site using a "side split" arrangement. There is much mature landscaping with three distinct garden and patio areas (one featuring a stone outdoor fireplace and water feature).

The interior features extensive wood finishes, exposed beams , and vaulted ceilings which remain clear. Three bedrooms and two baths are located on the "upper" level with a fourth bedroom, the family room and a large laundry on the "lower level".
