BY JULES LOH An outdoor activity porch, where children can play in all kinds of weather, links the garage with the main house in this, compact little ranch and turns it into an exquisite L-shapcd home. From the curb, the house appears far more pretentious than it-actually is.

It does indeed have its share of genuine elegance to a far greater extent, in fact, than you would expect in a three-bedroom home of only 1305 square feet. But its touches of luxury are designed in, rather than added on, and herein lies the secret of economical comfort. The best example is the activity porch.
