A dramatic pillared entrance and multiple roof lines provide a distinctive exterior to this four-bedroom family home. The foyer, dropped one step and with a raised ceiling, is open to the stairway and the living room. A nine-foot ceiling in the living room emphasizes the front corner windows and accents the interior sloping ceiling. A gas fireplace provides a focal point for cosy gatherings with guests. The dining room, a continuation of the living room, has the convenience of extra space from a built-in buffet. French doors allow access to the large rear sun deck – an ideal place for guests to gather before or after dinner during the summer months. A pocket door separates the dining room from the kitchen, which has plenty of cupboard space and double sinks overlooking the sun deck and the back garden. A bayed breakfast nook and adjoining family room also take in the rear view. A wall of windows and sliding glass door flood this area with natural light, while a gas fireplace in the family room adds a cosy ambience especially for winter evenings. The double garage offers a practical access to the home through the laundry room, which includes a coat closet. A central powder room completes the main floor layout. Upstairs, the house is ideally designed for a family with teenagers. Bedroom No. 2, located at the front, has its own three-piece en suite and alcove sitting area – a private retreat that no doubt will appeal to the eldest sibling. Bedrooms 3 and 4 on the opposite side of the house are up two steps and share a three-piece main bathroom. The master bedroom is a true suite retreat with an expanse of windows that take in the view to the rear. A dramatic five-piece en suite has a soaker tub set into a rear bay window – perfectly situated to relax and enjoy the view. His-and-hers closets provide generous storage space. An unfinished basement could be developed for a recreation room, storage or possibly a suite where local bylaws allow. Full-height brick emphasizes the raised stucco columns at the entrance; cedar shakes and trim detailing provide a clean, distinct exterior finish. The house is 42 feet, 4 inches wide with the same depth and 2,372 square feet of finished living space.
