AN ideal house for the corner lot is that of Mr. and Mrs. Charles King, situated on the south-west corner of Seeley Avenue and 107th Street. Carefully kept grounds and effective use of flowers and shrubs add muih to the attractiveness.
The most unusual feature is the placing of the entrance door in the corner between two wings, each of which run parallel to a street. A curved walk leads up to the entrance door, on either side of which are lantern and flower urns. A small entrance alcove, with tiled floor, leads into a hall.
Sanded walls and California tile fireplace add individuality to the living room, which is exceptionally light. Two full length casement windows are provided at the sides of the fireplace, in addition to the side windows. Entrance to a large roofed porch is obtained from the living room and dining room through French doors.
An octagonal breakfast room is provided, in which the several windows look out over the well-kept rear yard and garden. The kitchen is well equipped and pleasant, as well as light and airy.
A side wall in the right wing of the house contains a coat closet and allows entrance to two bedrooms and bath. Wardrobe type closets of large size are provided in the bedrooms. A stair from the hall leads to the second floor, which contains bath and two bedrooms, one of which is of unusual size and provided with ten windows.
The basement provides space for furnace, storage, coal and laundry rooms of ample size.
The great advantage of a location in a well kept residence district is seen from the fact that this house has windows on all sides, yet the view from every window is pleasing.
