A CHARMING simplicity characterizes the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry C. Horloch, 2028 W. 101st Place. It is of the cottage type, constructed of sand colored stucco, trimmed in dark red.
The house was remodeled last year and an interior has been achieved that is both attractive and convenient and at the same time thoroughly individual. Arched, French doorways and French windows are prominent in the design.
An arched entrance admits one to a small, half open vestibule, through which the lower hall of the home is reached. Leading from the halls are the doors, also arched, to the attractive kitchen and a spacious coat closet. The doorway to the kitchen is of leaded glass design, through which a glimpse of a cozy blue and white breakfast nook is caught. The entrance to the living room, which extends across the front of the house, is a large, open porch. The stairway to the upper floor also leads from the hall.
From the large living room an entrance is gained to the dining room, through rectangular French doors, and at the east end of the living room is a small, half partitioned study. The predominating color tones are modulated shades of grey and white, with mahogany woodwork. A French door leading from the dining room admits one to a sun parlor, and from the sun parlor extends a very attractive rear porch, suitable because of its position, for pleasant summer afternoons.
The kitchen, accessible through either the dining room or the front hall and breakfast nook, is done in blue and white, with black woodwork and black and white tile design linoleum floor covering. Built-in cabinets and cupboards are convenient features, as well as the small rear vestibule, which contains a refrigerator and is used for receiving deliveries.
The upper floor contains three large bedrooms, all very tastefully decorated, one especially, being done in salmon and grey, furnished with hand-decorated, Spanish design furniture. All of the rooms have private entrances from the upper hallway, at the end of which the bath is found, done in white tile.
In designing the upper floor the maximum of comfort and spaciousness has been obtained. The room at the northeast corner of the upper floor has been made twice as large as it formerly was by incorporating the sleeping porch that once adjoined it.
The general ensemble of the dwelling is a fine example of what ingenuity and taste can do in remodeling a house to produce a result that is at once comfortable, convenient and attractively modern.
