Rare Luston Home. Only 2,500 built in the United States. All steel post WWII home. An engineering marvel. A modest ranch home, that is durable and low maintenance. The entire home is made of steel framing, interior and exterior wall, roof trusses and exterior made of porcelain enamal finish.
Floor plan shows arrangement of five spacious rooms, plus large utility room - more than 1000 square feet of floor space.
Only the bedrooms and bath are enclosed with doors, and many of the partitions are working walls, which earn their share of the floor space by providing built-in conveniences, storage space and closets. Every room has cross ventilation.
Now step into the bright colorful living room. That pleasing effect of open light and open space comes from the big picture window. Built-in shelves provide space for books or growing plants.
The dining area opens off the living room. Here is another picture window and a remodeled kitchen. The kitchen is just an easy work-saving step from the dining space, and the kitchen itself is designed in a "working corridor" to save steps. Appliances and cabinets are arranged for greatest efficiency.
The master bedroom, large enough for twin beds, also offers a built-in feature which eliminates the necessity for the conventional dresser and chest of drawers. A built-in vanity is surrounded by drawers, cabinets and closets. A big mirror (21 sq. ft.) comes as part of the house. Sliding doors on the big closet.
A similar built-in closet with shelves for linens is one wall of the hall to the second bedroom. This bedroom, which will also take twin beds, features privacy and ample wall space, yet gives you the big window and the big closet area that characterize the Lustron design.
It is a thrill to live in such a new innovation.
