Located on the Old Georgetown road just north of Bethesda, Md., Luxmanor offers a delightful five-room sturdily built brick bungalow on one-half acre of ground at a moderate price.
The house itself is 50 feet wide and has a studio living room 15 by 20 feet, opening on two spacious porches. One wing of the house contains two bedrooms and bath and the opposite wing contains a dining room and electric health kitchen. There is recessed radiation throughout and new style windows giving modern ventilation.
The basement is under the entire house and contains a vegetable storage room, furnace room and a two-car built-in garage. The beautiful back yard has over 14,000 square feet of ground which may be cultivated or planted with flowers in addition to the vegetable garden that is already laid out and planted.
This is a community entirely different from anything developed by Shannon & Luchs or any other Washington builder. It is similar in idea to the subsistence homesteads advocated by Mrs. Roosevelt. The chicken house and run stocked with chickens will provide ample eggs for household needs and the vegetable garden will produce sufficient supplies to last through the winter. They can be properly stored in the vegetable storage room in the basement. In addition to the subsistence layout, the house is modern in every detail and contains every city convenience at city costs. [WP3]
