Dormers and board-and-batten siding always add charm and character to a home, and this three-bedroom design is no exception. The covered entry, providing shelter from rain and snow, leads into a spacious foyer. Located as it is near the entry, this room would make the ideal home office, saving clients a trek through the rest of the house. Lit by a skylight, the U-shaped staircase leads to both the second floor and the unfinished basement, included with the plans. Opposite the staircase are a coat cupboard and powder room. An arched half-wall separates the foyer from the dining room, which flows seamlessly into the great room. A vaulted ceiling, fireplace and sliding doors to the terrace add drama and comfort to the great room, which is sure to be a focus for family activities in all kinds of weather. The kitchen, set off from the great room by a work island that includes an eating bar, features plenty of counter space, as well as a pantry. The window over the kitchen sink overlooks a small covered outdoor area, perfect for the barbecue. Also on the main floor is the master bedroom, overlooking the back garden. The generous walk-in closet is reached through a four-piece ensuite with a double basin. The laundry room enjoys excellent access from the double garage, part of which boasts a double-height ceiling. A large coat cupboard provides extra storage space. Upstairs, the second and third bedrooms share a three-piece bathroom. Exterior finishes include painted trim and decorative wooden bracing in the gable over the garage door. Stone bases are topped by pilasters, and wooden shutters frame the upstairs bedroom’s mullioned window. This house measures 40 feet wide by 59 feet, six inches deep, for a total of 2,127 square feet of living space, plus the unfinished basement.
