Salome Thomas-EL Champion for America’s Future

5 Bdrm, MZ Walkout. 3 Bdrm, 5 Acre & Stable. $244,000 $275,000

n amazing teacher, and now Principal, that has impacted the lives of hundreds of students in inner-city Philadelphia, Salome Thomas-EL holds an unyielding belief in the importance of rigor and joy in retaining and teaching America’s most underprivileged youth. Join us to learn how Salome's out-ofthe-box tactics and unique ways of engaging the community are successfully leading students to attain a college degree.

After refusing a $25,000 pay increase and the chance to influence a larger number of students, Salome wrote the best-selling book, "I Choose to Stay: A Black Teacher Refuses to Desert the Inner City", (2003). The book garnered the attention of The Walt Disney Company which is now working on a full-length movie featuring Will Smith.

If you are passionate about education, children, and the future of Decatur, make plans now to join us!

“Superior Service Isn’t Expensive It’s Priceless!”

1007

1840 King Arthur Dr.

EDGEWOOD (D2839) Windows are the mirrors to the inside of a home. The Edgewood (D2839) has incorporated the use of decorative windows all across the face of this spectacular home. Transoms, arches, and window seats enhance the faÁade and draws attention to the grandeur of the 3,057 square foot Edgewood. Another outstanding feature of this home is the uneven look of the exterior.

Up the steps and through the entry to the Edgewood brings one face-to-face curved stairwell, both going up the second floor and down to the basement. To the right of the entry is a den with French doors. This room could also double as an office with its entry so close to the front of the home. It has a wide window seat, great for curling up with a book. The coat closet for guest’s coats is just beyond the den as is the entry to the main floor half bath.

The utility room is adjacent to the half bath.

The dining room is located in the center of the home featuring arched entries on three sides. There is a row of windows on the side, facing a screened verandah.

Between the dining room and the living room are French doors that open onto the verandah. These two rooms are unique and add to the exciting design.

The living room is vaulted to add to the spaciousness of the room and has windows with transoms overhead front and back. The front window also has a window seat area for reading a mystery in the light of day. Arched entries on two sides enhance the grandeur of this room.

The entire back of the main floor is comprised

of a large open vaulted family room, a nook and the kitchen.

The family room has a large fireplace on the right side with bookshelves on either side. Windows overlook the backyard and provide extra light during the day. The nook is a halfmoon with windows around. A set of French doors opens off the kitchen/nook onto the verandah.

The kitchen is in the corner with an island sink and eating bar. A pantry is located on the wall next to the dining area. It is an easy walk from the garage to the pantry to store those extra groceries. With the openness of the kitchen to the family room, the cook of the day can enjoy being part of the conversation.

Upstairs, French doors open into the master suite in the rear. The vaulted master suite has the oval window area. There is a large master bath with a spa tub, dual sinks, a shower, and two walk-in closets.

Bedroom 2 has its own private bath with a shower, two walk-in closets, while bedrooms 3 and 4 share a common bath with a tub and two sinks. Bedroom 2 and 4 have window seats.

For a study plan of the EDGEWOOD (D2839), send $15.00, to Landmark Designs, 33127 Saginaw Rd. E., Cottage Grove, OR 97424 or call 1-800-562-1151.

SINGLEBODE (405-30) The 1,149 square foot Singlebode (405-30) is an economical house with a floor plan perfectly suited for the needs of empty nesters wishing to down-size, or for a young family searching for their first home.

The attached garage conveniently opens directly into the kitchen. This allows you, regardless of the weather, to unload groceries with a minimum of bother. There is space in the garage to put a washer and dryer.

The kitchen has lots of room for the cook to maneuver while preparing meals.

Amenities include a walk-in pantry, dishwasher, range, and oven. An eating bar is handy for those informal times.

The spacious living room flows unobstructed into the dining room. This creates a roominess that belies the square footage. The dining room has a sliding glass door to the back patio. There is enough room here to relax in the sun with a barbecue and some lounge chairs.

The master suite extends out from the left with a view window to the front. The amenities here include a large sleeping area and a walk-in closet. The bathroom on the first floor conveniently services both the master bedroom and the living room.

Two bedrooms occupy the second floor, each having sufficient closet space. They share a corner bathroom fitted with linen storage.

For a study plan of the SINGLEBODE (40530), 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.

LAKEWOOD (404-33) The covered porch with a waist high railing leads to the entry of the 2,608 square foot Lakewood (404-33). This house is versatile and adaptable to a variety of lifestyles and family sizes.

The vaulted living room and dining room are the sunniest rooms of this home. Wide multi-paned windows span most of the rear-facing wall, allowing full appreciation of a vista of landscaped yard.

The entryway also has a lofty vaulted ceiling, brightened by two skylights. Windows rim the right wall of a combination family room/kitchen, expanded by a bayed eating nook. The kitchen work area is designed to minimize steps, with a deep sink, refrigerator, range and oven placed close together. Face framing on the walk-in pantry allows direct access to some of the shelves.

Features in the utility room include a storage area, a sink, and space for the washer, and dryer.

French doors open into the spacious den that shares a bathroom with the living area. The den can be used

as a home office or study area.

The vaulted master suite has a large walk-in closet and security system panel. Luxury amenities in the master bathroom include an oversized garden tub with space for tropical plants in the tub alcove, and a basin in the vanity outside the bathroom.

Two additional bedrooms share a third bathroom, with tub and shower combination. This single-story home could be adapted for wheelchair accessibility.

For a study plan of the LAKEWOOD (404-33), send $15.00, to Landmark Designs, 33127 Saginaw Rd. E., Cottage Grove, OR 97424 or call 1-800-5621151. Be sure to specify plan name and number.

SINGLEBODE (405-30) The 1,149 square foot Singlebode (405-30) is an economical house with a floor plan perfectly suited for the needs of empty nesters wishing to down-size, or for a young family searching for their first home.

The attached garage conveniently opens directly into the kitchen. This allows you, regardless of the weather, to unload groceries with a minimum of bother. There is space in the garage to put a washer and dryer.

The kitchen has lots of room for the cook to maneuver while preparing meals.

Amenities include a walk-in pantry, dishwasher, range, and oven. An eating bar is handy for those informal times.

The spacious living room flows unobstructed into the dining room. This creates a roominess that belies the square footage. The dining room has a sliding glass door to the back patio. There is enough room here to relax in the sun with a barbecue and some lounge chairs.

The master suite extends out from the left with a view window to the front. The amenities here include a large sleeping area and a walk-in closet. The bathroom on the first floor conveniently services both the master bedroom and the living room.

Two bedrooms occupy the second floor, each having sufficient closet space. They share a corner bathroom fitted with linen storage.

For a study plan of the SINGLEBODE (40530), 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.

“Superior Service Isn’t Expensive It’s Priceless!”

1007

1840 King Arthur Dr.

EDGEWOOD (D2839) Windows are the mirrors to the inside of a home. The Edgewood (D2839) has incorporated the use of decorative windows all across the face of this spectacular home. Transoms, arches, and window seats enhance the faÁade and draws attention to the grandeur of the 3,057 square foot Edgewood. Another outstanding feature of this home is the uneven look of the exterior.

Up the steps and through the entry to the Edgewood brings one face-to-face curved stairwell, both going up the second floor and down to the basement. To the right of the entry is a den with French doors. This room could also double as an office with its entry so close to the front of the home. It has a wide window seat, great for curling up with a book. The coat closet for guest’s coats is just beyond the den as is the entry to the main floor half bath.

The utility room is adjacent to the half bath.

The dining room is located in the center of the home featuring arched entries on three sides. There is a row of windows on the side, facing a screened verandah.

Between the dining room and the living room are French doors that open onto the verandah. These two rooms are unique and add to the exciting design.

The living room is vaulted to add to the spaciousness of the room and has windows with transoms overhead front and back. The front window also has a window seat area for reading a mystery in the light of day. Arched entries on two sides enhance the grandeur of this room.

The entire back of the main floor is comprised

of a large open vaulted family room, a nook and the kitchen.

The family room has a large fireplace on the right side with bookshelves on either side. Windows overlook the backyard and provide extra light during the day. The nook is a halfmoon with windows around. A set of French doors opens off the kitchen/nook onto the verandah.

The kitchen is in the corner with an island sink and eating bar. A pantry is located on the wall next to the dining area. It is an easy walk from the garage to the pantry to store those extra groceries. With the openness of the kitchen to the family room, the cook of the day can enjoy being part of the conversation.

Upstairs, French doors open into the master suite in the rear. The vaulted master suite has the oval window area. There is a large master bath with a spa tub, dual sinks, a shower, and two walk-in closets.

Bedroom 2 has its own private bath with a shower, two walk-in closets, while bedrooms 3 and 4 share a common bath with a tub and two sinks. Bedroom 2 and 4 have window seats.

Join us to learn how Salome's out-ofthe-box tactics and unique ways of engaging the community are successfully leading students to attain a college degree.

After refusing a $25,000 pay increase and the chance to influence a larger number of students, Salome wrote the best-selling book, "I Choose to Stay: A Black Teacher Refuses to Desert the Inner City", (2003). The book garnered the attention of The Walt Disney Company which is now working on a full-length movie featuring Will Smith.

5 Bdrm, MZ Walkout. 3 Bdrm, 5 Acre & Stable. $244,000 $275,000

n amazing teacher, and now Principal, that has impacted the lives of hundreds of students in inner-city Philadelphia, Salome Thomas-EL holds an unyielding belief in the importance of rigor and joy in retaining and teaching America’s most underprivileged youth. Join us to learn how Salome's out-ofthe-box tactics and unique ways of engaging the community are successfully leading students to attain a college degree.

After refusing a $25,000 pay increase and the chance to influence a larger number of students, Salome wrote the best-selling book, "I Choose to Stay: A Black Teacher Refuses to Desert the Inner City", (2003). The book garnered the attention of The Walt Disney Company which is now working on a full-length movie featuring Will Smith.

If you are passionate about education, children, and the future of Decatur, make plans now to join us!

“Superior Service Isn’t Expensive It’s Priceless!”

1007

1840 King Arthur Dr.

EDGEWOOD (D2839) Windows are the mirrors to the inside of a home. The Edgewood (D2839) has incorporated the use of decorative windows all across the face of this spectacular home. Transoms, arches, and window seats enhance the faÁade and draws attention to the grandeur of the 3,057 square foot Edgewood. Another outstanding feature of this home is the uneven look of the exterior.

Up the steps and through the entry to the Edgewood brings one face-to-face curved stairwell, both going up the second floor and down to the basement. To the right of the entry is a den with French doors. This room could also double as an office with its entry so close to the front of the home. It has a wide window seat, great for curling up with a book. The coat closet for guest’s coats is just beyond the den as is the entry to the main floor half bath.

The utility room is adjacent to the half bath.

The dining room is located in the center of the home featuring arched entries on three sides. There is a row of windows on the side, facing a screened verandah.

Between the dining room and the living room are French doors that open onto the verandah. These two rooms are unique and add to the exciting design.

The living room is vaulted to add to the spaciousness of the room and has windows with transoms overhead front and back. The front window also has a window seat area for reading a mystery in the light of day. Arched entries on two sides enhance the grandeur of this room.

The entire back of the main floor is comprised

of a large open vaulted family room, a nook and the kitchen.

The family room has a large fireplace on the right side with bookshelves on either side. Windows overlook the backyard and provide extra light during the day. The nook is a halfmoon with windows around. A set of French doors opens off the kitchen/nook onto the verandah.

The kitchen is in the corner with an island sink and eating bar. A pantry is located on the wall next to the dining area. It is an easy walk from the garage to the pantry to store those extra groceries. With the openness of the kitchen to the family room, the cook of the day can enjoy being part of the conversation.

Upstairs, French doors open into the master suite in the rear. The vaulted master suite has the oval window area. There is a large master bath with a spa tub, dual sinks, a shower, and two walk-in closets.

Bedroom 2 has its own private bath with a shower, two walk-in closets, while bedrooms 3 and 4 share a common bath with a tub and two sinks. Bedroom 2 and 4 have window seats.

SINGLEBODE (405-30) The 1,149 square foot Singlebode (405-30) is an economical house with a floor plan perfectly suited for the needs of empty nesters wishing to down-size, or for a young family searching for their first home.

The attached garage conveniently opens directly into the kitchen. This allows you, regardless of the weather, to unload groceries with a minimum of bother. There is space in the garage to put a washer and dryer.

The kitchen has lots of room for the cook to maneuver while preparing meals.

Amenities include a walk-in pantry, dishwasher, range, and oven. An eating bar is handy for those informal times.

The spacious living room flows unobstructed into the dining room. This creates a roominess that belies the square footage. The dining room has a sliding glass door to the back patio. There is enough room here to relax in the sun with a barbecue and some lounge chairs.

The master suite extends out from the left with a view window to the front. The amenities here include a large sleeping area and a walk-in closet. The bathroom on the first floor conveniently services both the master bedroom and the living room.

Two bedrooms occupy the second floor, each having sufficient closet space. They share a corner bathroom fitted with linen storage.

For a study plan of the SINGLEBODE (40530), 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.

The attached garage conveniently opens directly into the kitchen. This allows you, regardless of the weather, to unload groceries with a minimum of bother. There is space in the garage to put a washer and dryer.

The kitchen has lots of room for the cook to maneuver while preparing meals.

Amenities include a walk-in pantry, dishwasher, range, and oven. An eating bar is handy for those informal times.

The spacious living room flows unobstructed into the dining room. This creates a roominess that belies the square footage. The dining room has a sliding glass door to the back patio. There is enough room here to relax in the sun with a barbecue and some lounge chairs.

The master suite extends out from the left with a view window to the front. The amenities here include a large sleeping area and a walk-in closet. The bathroom on the first floor conveniently services both the master bedroom and the living room.

Two bedrooms occupy the second floor, each having sufficient closet space. They share a corner bathroom fitted with linen storage.

“Superior Service Isn’t Expensive It’s Priceless!”

1007

1840 King Arthur Dr.

EDGEWOOD (D2839) Windows are the mirrors to the inside of a home. The Edgewood (D2839) has incorporated the use of decorative windows all across the face of this spectacular home. Transoms, arches, and window seats enhance the faÁade and draws attention to the grandeur of the 3,057 square foot Edgewood. Another outstanding feature of this home is the uneven look of the exterior.

Up the steps and through the entry to the Edgewood brings one face-to-face curved stairwell, both going up the second floor and down to the basement. To the right of the entry is a den with French doors. This room could also double as an office with its entry so close to the front of the home. It has a wide window seat, great for curling up with a book. The coat closet for guest’s coats is just beyond the den as is the entry to the main floor half bath.

The utility room is adjacent to the half bath.

The dining room is located in the center of the home featuring arched entries on three sides. There is a row of windows on the side, facing a screened verandah.

Between the dining room and the living room are French doors that open onto the verandah. These two rooms are unique and add to the exciting design.

The living room is vaulted to add to the spaciousness of the room and has windows with transoms overhead front and back. The front window also has a window seat area for reading a mystery in the light of day. Arched entries on two sides enhance the grandeur of this room.

The entire back of the main floor is comprised

of a large open vaulted family room, a nook and the kitchen.

The family room has a large fireplace on the right side with bookshelves on either side. Windows overlook the backyard and provide extra light during the day. The nook is a halfmoon with windows around. A set of French doors opens off the kitchen/nook onto the verandah.

The kitchen is in the corner with an island sink and eating bar. A pantry is located on the wall next to the dining area. It is an easy walk from the garage to the pantry to store those extra groceries. With the openness of the kitchen to the family room, the cook of the day can enjoy being part of the conversation.

Upstairs, French doors open into the master suite in the rear. The vaulted master suite has the oval window area. There is a large master bath with a spa tub, dual sinks, a shower, and two walk-in closets.

Bedroom 2 has its own private bath with a shower, two walk-in closets, while bedrooms 3 and 4 share a common bath with a tub and two sinks. Bedroom 2 and 4 have window seats.

For a study plan of the EDGEWOOD (D2839), send $15.00, to Landmark Designs, 33127 Saginaw Rd. E., Cottage Grove, OR 97424 or call 1-800-562-1151.

Salome Thomas-EL Champion for America’s Future

5 Bdrm, MZ Walkout. 3 Bdrm, 5 Acre & Stable. $244,000 $275,000

n amazing teacher, and now Principal, that has impacted the lives of hundreds of students in inner-city Philadelphia, Salome Thomas-EL holds an unyielding belief in the importance of rigor and joy in retaining and teaching America’s most underprivileged youth. Join us to learn how Salome's out-ofthe-box tactics and unique ways of engaging the community are successfully leading students to attain a college degree.

After refusing a $25,000 pay increase and the chance to influence a larger number of students, Salome wrote the best-selling book, "I Choose to Stay: A Black Teacher Refuses to Desert the Inner City", (2003). The book garnered the attention of The Walt Disney Company which is now working on a full-length movie featuring Will Smith.

If you are passionate about education, children, and the future of Decatur, make plans now to join us!
