20x40-Foot Swimming Pool: The pool with its own filtering plant is 9 1/2 feet deep at one end and has underwater lighting. The nearby kitchen makes the patio (in background) a convenient place for out-of-doors eating, entertaining or lounging after dips in the pool. Dressing rooms are to be attached to the end of the carport (left of picture).

Built Into Hillside: This nine-room Harlan D. Yeager home at 1119 Chestnut Rd. is a two-level structure built into a hillside at a point where there is a commanding view of the Riverside Hills Subdivision. The screening from the sundeck to roof permits family members to look out, but shields floor to ceiling bedroom picture windows from outsiders and sunlight. The sundeck (extreme left) is just outside the living room.

Terrazzo Floors: The Yeagers' 30 x 15-foot living room and dining el have a brown-tan floor of terrazzo tile, which is also used as a wall backdrop above the fireplace. A ceiling overhang of redwood conceals lighting that may be dimmed or brightened with a rheostat. Furnishings are traditional and modern which fit in with studio-type ceilings in the house, achieving a free, open-style plan of living with simplicity the Yeagers wanted.

Charming Scene: The redwood overhang becomes the ceiling in the dining el with its floor-to-ceiling windows that permit a clear view of the patio and swimming pool. The terrazzo floor permits easy upkeep, an advantage seen by the Yeagers throughout their house because of materials used.

Skylight Used Here: A plastic-domed skylight brightens the staircase to the lower level, where the recreation room, two bedrooms, plus one for a short-wave ham radio station are located. Birch paneling and unique use of tile on open stairs, plus the long television and storage cabinet, help "blend" the two levels together.
