That was my first thought as well. We live in a "very modern" (among the first neighborhoods in Phoenix that had central air conditioning) house built in 1948. Three bedrooms, ONE bath. I'm assuming that these were marketed to families and my question is just HOW? There are just the two of us here, and there are times we really wish for an additional bathroom...
It is amazing how NICE these hoses look rather than the multi-mega-gabled, pointed-roof houses of modern times. Modern houses make the simpler mid-century modern homes look so much more ELEGANT by comparison.
With the modern mini-split hvac systems, so much easier to do zone hvac than in prior times of "central hvac". More non-invasive in these older floorplans, too. Adding bathrooms? That can happen, too!
I always like these old floor plans, even if they’re sometimes strange.
The Ceredo has some odd features. The vestibule is a step above the rest of the house, so entering by the front door you go up two steps to the door and then down a step into the house – odd and unnecessary. Speaking of steps, the top of the stairs on the second floor doesn’t line up with the top of the basement stairs on the first floor – either something doesn’t add up here, or the basement stairs have a serious lack of headroom. This could have been avoided by simply making the top of the basement stairs come from the vestibule, not the kitchen.
The Chadwick has a vestibule sticking out of the front of the house that serves no purpose whatsoever, and the same aesthetic effect could have been gotten with trim around and over the door on the (flat) outside of the house, at a lower cost by not building the useless vestibule.
The Chadron and the Chamberlin have a “dining nook” as well as a dining room – they’re moving toward the idea of an eat-in kitchen, but they’re not there yet.
In my grandparents' house, there were 2 bathrooms, and both had CARPET. The strangest thing in the world! I asked my father how he dealt with the cum splashes, and he replied that he didn't do it in the bathroom, but in the bedroom.
How those people lived with one bathroom, no thank you.

DeleteMark - Two bathrooms were an absolute must for Jerry and me.

ReplyDeleteAnon@1:25pm - Thanks for the funny story. (Carpet in the bathroom? Ugh!)
