Transcript of The Olsen Complex
This complex features three homes with colonial style exteriors and vastly different interiors. The main home has 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms with a
modern interior. The home on the left was built for Don Olsen’s parents, Leroy and Charlotte. It features an arts and crafts interior with 1 bedroom, 1.5
bathrooms. The home on the right was built for Judy Olsen’s mother Vivian Smith. It features a mixture of coastal and eclectic interior with 1 bedroom and
1.5 bathrooms. Pictures of the main home can be found in the slideshow for Olsen’s Modern Colonial.
The Olsen Complex
This lovely path leads from Don and Judy’s back patio all the way to the back of the lot with a seating area and paths to the front doors of both additional homes. The home on the left is Leroy and Charlotte’s and the home on the right is Vivian’s. While both still feature colonial
exteriors there are minor differences in the siding, size, and shape of the homes.

Leroy and Charlotte’s home features 1 bedroom, 1.5 baths, living room, kitchen with eat-in dining, a sewing/craft room, and a den. The rooms feature plenty of space with only one rug for Charlotte to get around with a walker and large doorways for
easy maneuvering. To stay true to the arts and crafts style the interior is infused with warm woods throughout.
Leroy and Charlotte’s home
The home features one solid gabled roof, but the porch/patio area features a flat sun roof so the tenants can relax in the shade or get a bit of sunshine.

Leroy and Charlotte’s Floorplan
Each side of the patio area has a table and two chairs, as well as a tea set on one side. Plenty of space for the Olsens and a couple guests.
Front Patio area
To the left is the living room, half bath, and sewing room. To the right is the kitchen and dining. Straight ahead is the hallway that leads to the bedroom, en-suite full bath, and
Leroy’s den. There should be columns where the arrows are pointing, but they disappear when you get too close.

The living room comes complete with two loveseats and an entertainment center. There are two end tables but no coffee table so that Charlotte has no
problems maneuvering. The doors lead to the half bath and the open doorway leads to Charlotte’s sewing room. Both are double wide for easy entry.

The living room features a nice built in entertainment center with plenty of storage space for movies and CDs. It comes complete with a flat screen
television and a stereo.

getting ready for the day or for bed.

greens, as well as some pink to go with the coastal/eclectic theme. Her office has plenty of space to write as well as a couch and plenty of bookshelves so she
can read to her hearts content.
Vivian’s Home
Vivian’s greenhouse is located at the back of the house with a door leading outside, a door leading into the kitchen so she can put fresh produce in the
refrigerator, and a door to the half bath so she can clean up a bit before entering the rest of the house.
