Gables always seem to make a house more of a home, and this one- or two-bedroom design is no exception. Behind its three-gabled façade, this home contains all the amenities desired by today’s discerning family. A covered entry, providing shelter in inclement weather, leads into a U-shaped foyer where a rail surrounds a stairwell to the unfinished basement included in the plans. A coat closet is located in the stairwell angle, with a secondary bedroom or den to the right. Straight ahead is the great room, with a view through sliding glass doors and large  windows to a sundeck, as well as a gas fireplace. Stairs lead from the deck to the back garden. The great room flows into the combined kitchen/dining room, which includes a prep island, a walk-in pantry and a handy phone desk. The master suite overlooks the back garden for privacy. The generous ensuite boasts double sinks and a glassed-in shower stall. The walk in closet will be large enough for even the most fashion-conscious couples clothing. The laundry room offers access to a double garage, which contains access to the side garden, as well as a window. Exterior finishes include stucco with brick accents and shingles and decorative woodwork in the gables. A brick-based pilaster marks the entrance. This home measures 45 feet wide and 49 feet deep, for a total of 1,395 square feet, plus the unfinished basement.
