A front door graced with a central oval window and flanked by side-lights enhances the old-world elegance of this pleasing two-storey, three-bedroom family home. The covered porch, a boon in poor weather, leads to a foyer that includes a display area for collectibles or plants. To the left is the coat closet, and to the right is a staircase to the second floor and unfinished basement (included in the plans). The great room flows into the open-plan kitchen and dining room, and the built-in fireplace will make this part of the home a cool-weather focal point for family members. The dining room, in a bayed-out area with a double-height ceiling, enjoys access to a covered porch, a bonus during barbecue season. From the porch, steps lead down to the back garden. The spacious kitchen features a work island with a small second sink; a circular raised eating bar is set into a corner of the island, making a convenient spot for snacks and casual meals. A double-door pantry provides always-welcome extra storage space for appliances and canned and dry food. Upstairs, the master bedroom boasts an en-suite with double basins, a corner shower and a soaker tub located near a window. There’s also a roomy, shelf-lined walk-in closet. The linen cupboard is nearby. The two secondary bedrooms share a three piece bathroom. One bedroom features a window with an extra-wide sill, while the other has a corner window. The laundry room, with a cupboard for off-season gear, has access to the double garage, with two doors for convenience. This home measures 40 feet wide, six inches, and 53 feet, six inches deep, for a total of 1,694 square feet (excluding the unfinished basement).
