With its simple, yet stylish exterior, this modest-sized rancher would be equally suitable in urban or country settings. A casually comfortable, open floor plan makes efficient use of the available floor space. The combination of family room open to the dining area and kitchen creates one huge gathering place. The great room offers the ideal layout and space for informal living while also providing an attractive setting for entertaining guests. A corner fireplace will offer a cosy focus for cooler fall and winter evenings. The dining area is highlighted by a bayed window that overlooks the large sun deck with steps that lead down to the back garden. The adjoining kitchen completes the great room layout. A work island, along with plenty of counter space and a pantry, will make meal preparation a breeze. The useful phone desk, centrally located opposite the dining room, will be handy for writing notes as well as taking phone messages. The laundry area adjoining the kitchen contains a two piece powder room and has access to the double garage. The few steps from the garage to the kitchen will make easy work of unloading the groceries from the car. The master suite is located at the rear of the house and features a walk-in closet and three-piece en suite bathroom with a shower. The second bedroom has the use of a three-piece bathroom. A den next to the front entrance is well placed for use as a home office, if desired, or could serve as a hobby area or media room. The covered front porch with its decorative pillars and stone accents add an inviting focus to the exterior, as well as offering a sheltered space for arriving guests. Vinyl or wood siding could be used on the exterior. An optional basement would add plenty of extra space as well as taking full advantage of a rear-view lot. The house is 58 feet wide and 36 feet deep with 1,351 square feet of living space and an unfinished basement.
