KAEMPFERI (336-050)
A large workshop, separate from the garage, is includ-
ed in the floor plan of the Kaempferi (336-050), a
compact single-level home with a country style front
porch. Economical to build, this home is well suited
to the needs of first-time homebuyers, singles, or
empty nesters. And it can be adapted for wheelchair
accessibility.
Family living areas are at the front, bedrooms at the
back. The vaulted ceiling gives a sense of spacious-
ness to the living room. A five-sided bay window
brightens the living room and creates an interesting
recess for plants, a specially designed couch, a couple
of easy chairs - the possibilities are endless. The liv-
ing room also has a door that opens onto a small
deck.
Most homes this size have two bathrooms, but this
one has three. The one next to the garage comes in
handy for clean-up when clothes and shoes are grubby
from working in the shop or garden.
A work island, with a built-in range and oven, aug-
ments counter space in the kitchen. Other features
include a large walk-in pantry, broom closet, and
built-in dishwasher. Sink and dishwasher are nestled
into a bay window that faces the street. Some families
might prefer to outfit the adjacent space as a family
room, rather than a dining room.
Luxury touches in the master suite include a huge
walk-in closet, oversized shower and twin basins in
the dressing area. A glass door opening off the main
suite area provides access to the deck.
The utility room has cabinets and a long counter for
folding clothes. It can be entered from the back yard,
as well as from the interior hallway. Although not
included in the plan, another deck could be built
behind the home.
A skylight brightens the main bathroom and a large
linen closet is across the hail, next to the coat closet
by the entry. Bedroom three, which is accessible
from the kitchen, could be used as a home office,
hobby room, or you-name-it, if a third bedroom is not
needed.
For a study plan of the KAEMPFERI (336-050), 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. Compact

KAEMPFERI (336-050)
A large workshop, separate from the garage, is includ-
ed in the floor plan of the Kaempferi (336-050), a
compact single-level home with a country style front
porch. Economical to build, this home is well suited
to the needs of first-time homebuyers, singles, or
empty nesters. And it can be adapted for wheelchair
accessibility.
Family living areas are at the front, bedrooms at the
back. The vaulted ceiling gives a sense of spacious-
ness to the living room. A five-sided bay window
brightens the living room and creates an interesting
recess for plants, a specially designed couch, a couple
of easy chairs - the possibilities are endless. The liv-
ing room also has a door that opens onto a small
deck.
Most homes this size have two bathrooms, but this
one has three. The one next to the garage comes in
handy for clean-up when clothes and shoes are grubby
from working in the shop or garden.
A work island, with a built-in range and oven, aug-
ments counter space in the kitchen. Other features
include a large walk-in pantry, broom closet, and
built-in dishwasher. Sink and dishwasher are nestled
into a bay window that faces the street. Some families
might prefer to outfit the adjacent space as a family
room, rather than a dining room.
Luxury touches in the master suite include a huge
walk-in closet, oversized shower and twin basins in
the dressing area. A glass door opening off the main
suite area provides access to the deck.
The utility room has cabinets and a long counter for
folding clothes. It can be entered from the back yard,
as well as from the interior hallway. Although not
included in the plan, another deck could be built
behind the home.
A skylight brightens the main bathroom and a large
linen closet is across the hail, next to the coat closet
by the entry. Bedroom three, which is accessible
from the kitchen, could be used as a home office,
hobby room, or you-name-it, if a third bedroom is not
needed.
For a study plan of the KAEMPFERI (336-050), send
$15.00, to Landmark Designs, 33127 Saginaw Rd. E.,
Cottage Grove, OR 97424 or call 1-800-562-1151. Be
