This three-bedroom home would be ideal for a growing family, with an unfinished basement that could either offer room for expansion, or might accommodate a mortgage-helper or in-law suite, where local bylaws allow. Sidelights around the front door, as well as a window set into the door, will  ensure plenty of natural light in the ground-level foyer, where french doors open to a good-sized den. This room, ideally located for a home office, would also make a great yoga studio or cosy spot for crafts and reading. From the foyer, a U-shaped flight of stairs leads to the spacious open-plan family area on the main level. At the front of the great room, a vaulted ceiling and large bay window enhance the room’s generous proportions. The dining area has space for a buffet, and a sliding glass door opens to an oversized sun deck at the front, where both family and guests will enjoy outdoor living during the summer months. The kitchen features a central island with a raised eating bar, as well as a roomy pantry. A door opens to a patio, covered to allow for year-round grilling. The gas fireplace in the great room will cast its warmth into every corner of the family area. The master suite enjoys a view of the front garden. The walk-in closet is roomy enough or even the most fashion-conscious couple’s apparel. The en suite bathroom boasts a corner soaker tub next to a window overlooking the back garden, as well as a separate shower stall. A half-wall maintains privacy between the toilet and the double vanity. The secondary bedrooms are almost identical in size and design and share the main three-piece bathroom. The basement level offers plenty of space for future development and includes a roughed-in three-piece bathroom. A storage area at the rear of the double garage will provide space for garden tools and other equipment. Feature windows with wide frames complement the rock-and-stucco exterior. This basement-entry home is especially suitable for a site with a view to the front. It measures 43 feet wide and 46 feet, 4 inches deep, for a total of 1,484 square feet of living space.
