Back from the Future

In Levitt & Sons initial brochure, the first residents were invited to, "Tour all three sample homes and select the style of your new home in Levittown. First residents will select homesites in Somerset Park, Levittown's first of many planned neighborhoods."
House A Description:
A 1-1/2 Story (Cape Cod), 2 Bedrooms*, 1 Bath*, Covered side entry, Living Room with door to back lawn, Front-facing Kitchen with Serving Counter to separate Dining Area, Folding Screen between Living and Dining Areas, One-car Garage.
*House A available with 4 Bedrooms, 2 Baths for an additional $1,000. Less than two weeks after the opening of the Levittown exhibit in 1958, the unfinished half-story option was dropped from the houseline due to lack of interest. The only version of House A offered became the fully finished 1-1/2-story model; the new price of the fully finished version was reduced by $500 to $11,990.
