Perhaps you bought a home expecting to live in it the rest of your days, and undesirable peighbors or buildings gave you worry instead of contentment. In the new homes just built on 28th Street in Woodley Park, you have not only the careful restrictions that have long safeguarded values in this prominent community; you have also a wide choice of the best built and most comfort- able homes that exist in Washington today at $16,000 to $18,000. There are six rooms, two baths, both with showers (and another shower and lavatory near the maid’s room in the basement). Closets are ALL CEDAR, flooring as well as shelves and walls. All other flooring is 7g-inch clear white oak laid over sub-floor with special floor felting between. From the smallest detail of construction, to the well arranged basement space, with laundry, drying room and built-in garage—the house has beé¢n planned for the com- fort and serenity of the owner and his family. A kitchen to delight any woman, large and bright, with deep shelving, built-in refrigerator (iced from outside). Built-in ironing board and other conveniences have been installed as well. Woodley Park has always been the Capital’s finest resi- dential community; these new homes in no wise detract from its beauty.
