SILVERDALE (D6711) Looking for a traditional farmhouse that has some extra pizzazz to its faÁade? The Silverdale (D6711) fits that description. It has a covered porch with railings, a two-car garage, a second story, and a tall chimney. The remarkable features are the large, uniquely shaped windows both on the front of the home as well as on the garage. Upon entering this fine home, your guest will be greeted by one large, long open room. The living room is in the front with a fireplace on the left wall, while the dining room is in the rear. Both rooms have large windows that bathe them in light. In the right rear corner of the Silverdale is a spaciously open ìCî shaped kitchen. There is a small pantry on the center wall as well a half-bath tucked between the pantry and the stairs to the optional 749 square foot basement. There are two doors just off the kitchen, one leading to the garage and the storage area in the rear. The other one opens onto a covered porch, great for family gatherings. Adjacent to the entry to the right is the stairs to the second floor. All the bedrooms are upstairs. The master suite is a large square room with a walk-

in closet and a full bath with a tub. Bedrooms 2 and 3 each have large windows, providing an abundance of light for the rooms. Bedroom 2 has a corner walkin closet, while bedroom 3 has a wall closet. The full bath with a tub is adjacent to bedroom 2. The washer and dryer are also on this floor as it is easier for doing the laundry. At the end of the hall next to the staircase is a long unfinished 308 square foot storage area. This is ideal for storing those seasonal items, as well as providing an area for kids to play. Overall, the Silverdale provides a warm open living space with a usable square footage of 1,491. For a study plan of the SILVERDALE (D6711), send $15.00, to Landmark Designs, 33127 Saginaw Rd. E., Cottage Grove, OR 97424 or call 1800-562-1151. Be sure to specify plan name and number.

The Hare (406-12) was designed with a certain flair for elegance on the exterior and comfort with usable space on the inside. The porch area has high pillars that form the raised roofline and give the entrance the look of a colonial southern home. The garage area extends to the front with a side entrance for access to the backyard. The interior of the Hare is 1,620 square feet, ideal for a family with children or the couple whose children have left the home. There is an entry area with a bench for taking off wet coats or muddy boots. Once inside the home, the area is open and visitors look directly into the Great Room. This is expansive for the family to enjoy. It combines the family room, dining room, and the living room into one large area. There is a fireplace in the corner, and French doors that open onto a covered deck area in the rear. The kitchen, large and spacious, would accommodate more than one cook at a time and still allow easy preparation of the meal. It is one of those rooms that have numerous cabinets, large counter space, and an eating bar for informal eating. The pantry is angular, allowing more than ample storage area and ease of entry. Directly off the kitchen is the utility room. It HARE (406-12)

has cabinets and a folding counter. For convenience, the linen closet cabinets and folding counter. For convenience, the linen closet has been placed on the opposite wall, excellently located for putting away clean linen and getting out linen for the bedrooms. The two bedrooms are located on the opposite side of the home from the master suite. They both are bright and spacious with large wall closets and each has access to full bath. There is also a small linen closet in between the two rooms for towel and sheet storage. The master suite, located to the right of the entry, has a walk-in closet and a full bath. The window, which looks out the front of the home, supplies the room with plenty of light. The Hare is a great beginning or ending home. It has many amenities that lend themselves to new families or empty nesters. For a study plan of the HARE (406-12), 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.

REALTOR

BORDINE (406-26) A covered front porch wraps around three sides of the Bordine (406-26) giving it an all weather sensibility and a classic, country appearance. The 3,250 square feet of living space is separated into the quiet sleeping quarters on the right side and the food preparation and family areas on the left. The two-car garage has a depth that will allow a shop area in the rear. For ease of use, there is an extra set of stairs to the optional basement. Off the garage is a carport that runs the full length of the garage and part of the home. A large study on the right of the entry has shelves built in to the back wall. There is room enough for a reading table, chairs, as well as a complete office layout. Directly in front of the study door, an open Ushaped staircase leads to the upper level and to the optional basement below. Beyond the vaulted formal dining room, the open kitchen design and nook area are convenient to the garage. Kitchen amenities include a large pantry, eating bar, and a built-in desk. The dormer above brightens this space. The utility room in this area has a sink, a dropdown ironing board, and a full bath. From the nook, a sunroom with an optional spa provides an area for entertaining guests, as well as providing the family with relaxation after a hectic day. Heated with a wood stove, the cozy retreat also has a wet

bar with an under-counter refrigerator, and a wine cabinet. Open to the nook and kitchen, the vaulted family room has a patio door to the rear deck. A fireplace sits at an angle in the corner. In the master suite, an identical fireplace is mirrored on the same wall. Skylights and French doors brighten the rear of the suite, while two windows illuminate the bath. Double sinks and a large, two fixture, shower with a bench complete the master bath. A sink is also located outside the main bath area for convenience to meet busy schedules. Two generous bedrooms share a full bath upstairs. The bath is compartmental design with a pocket door separating the sink area with a linen closet from the rest of the bath. Both bedrooms have large closets with storage in the hall. For a study plan of the BORDINE (406-26), 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.

DHA • Decatur Housing Authority • 423-7711 I want to tell you all a story ‘bout a friendly place called DHA. A place that helps a lot of Seniors with a rent that is affordable to pay. If there’s a disability they’ll have a unit where it’s comfortable to stay. For rental housing just for you, just call the friendly DHA HARTFORD Directly off the kitchen is the utility room. It

HARE (406-12) The Hare (406-12) was designed with a certain flair for elegance on the exterior and comfort with usable space on the inside. The porch area has high pillars that form the raised roofline and give the entrance the look of a colonial southern home. The garage area extends to the front with a side entrance for access to the backyard. The interior of the Hare is 1,620 square feet, ideal for a family with children or the couple whose children have left the home. There is an entry area with a bench for taking off wet coats or muddy boots. Once inside the home, the area is open and visitors look directly into the Great Room. This is expansive for the family to enjoy. It combines the family room, dining room, and the living room into one large area. There is a fireplace in the corner, and French doors that open onto a covered deck area in the rear. The kitchen, large and spacious, would accommodate more than one cook at a time and still allow easy preparation of the meal. It is one of those rooms that have numerous cabinets, large counter space, and an eating bar for informal eating. The pantry is angular, allowing more than ample storage area and ease of entry.

has cabinets and a folding counter. For convenience, the linen closet cabinets and folding counter. For convenience, the linen closet has been placed on the opposite wall, excellently located for putting away clean linen and getting out linen for the bedrooms. The two bedrooms are located on the opposite side of the home from the master suite. They both are bright and spacious with large wall closets and each has access to full bath. There is also a small linen closet in between the two rooms for towel and sheet storage. The master suite, located to the right of the entry, has a walk-in closet and a full bath. The window, which looks out the front of the home, supplies the room with plenty of light. The Hare is a great beginning or ending home. It has many amenities that lend themselves to new families or empty nesters. For a study plan of the HARE (406-12), 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.

A covered front porch wraps around three sides of the Bordine (406-26) giving it an all weather sensibility and a classic, country appearance. The 3,250 square feet of living space is separated into the quiet sleeping quarters on the right side and the food preparation and family areas on the left. The two-car garage has a depth that will allow a shop area in the rear. For ease of use, there is an extra set of stairs to the optional basement. Off the garage is a carport that runs the full length of the garage and part of the home. A large study on the right of the entry has shelves built in to the back wall. There is room enough for a reading table, chairs, as well as a complete office layout. Directly in front of the study door, an open Ushaped staircase leads to the upper level and to the optional basement below. Beyond the vaulted formal dining room, the open kitchen design and nook area are convenient to the garage. Kitchen amenities include a large pantry, eating bar, and a built-in desk. The dormer above brightens this space. The utility room in this area has a sink, a dropdown ironing board, and a full bath. From the nook, a sunroom with an optional spa provides an area for entertaining guests, as well as providing the family with relaxation after a hectic day. Heated with a wood stove, the cozy retreat also has a wet BORDINE (406-26)

bar with an under-counter refrigerator, and a wine cabinet. Open to the nook and kitchen, the vaulted family room has a patio door to the rear deck. A fireplace sits at an angle in the corner. In the master suite, an identical fireplace is mirrored on the same wall. Skylights and French doors brighten the rear of the suite, while two windows illuminate the bath. Double sinks and a large, two fixture, shower with a bench complete the master bath. A sink is also located outside the main bath area for convenience to meet busy schedules. Two generous bedrooms share a full bath upstairs. The bath is compartmental design with a pocket door separating the sink area with a linen closet from the rest of the bath. Both bedrooms have large closets with storage in the hall. For a study plan of the BORDINE (406-26), send $15.00, to Landmark Designs, 33127 Saginaw Rd.
