The large living room is made doubly attractive by the addition of a well-balanced real stone fireplace. The dining room is exceptionally well lighted and lots of wall space is in evidence. A thought-out kitchen, with our usual high sink and drain board, and ample windowed pantry is decidedly homelike. The private stairway and clothes closet in this home are distinctively a Shannon & Luchs idea and in: teresting. There is a master bedroom and two other bed- rooms of excellent proportion. The closet space in all of the bedrooms is so much larger and different from anything you have seen as to be startling. In fact, in one home one of our closets was converted into a buffet kitchen. Our cellars are very different from what you are accustomed to seeing; they are made a real part of the house, and we make our porches an equally important part. The finish is mahogany and white and natural. Decorations and fixtures at your selection within our contract. This is a man's home as well as a woman’s. And with a lot 160 feet deep, 5600 square feet of ground, and two schools right in the subdivision, it naturally follows as ideal for children. Hamilton Street at 13th St. N.W. Two schools, right in the suburb, near to all the high-grade -chain stores, churches. Best car line in all ashington. It is very interesting to see_ the various types of individual hame we are building in this com- munity. Prices range from $11,500 to $18,500.
