Exterior finishes on this two-bedroom bungalow include brick-based pilasters and decorative cross-bracing in the gables, lending this home – designed specifically for a lot that slopes to the back – a touch of appealing arts-and-crafts style. Entry is through a front door with side-lights and a window above. In the foyer, a coat closet is on the left, just beyond the doorway to the second bedroom which – thanks to a built-in desk and its convenient location – can double as a home office or den. Directly ahead is the open-plan great-room complex. The great room enjoys windows overlooking a sundeck and the back garden, as well as a gas fireplace. Nearby is the staircase, railed for safety, to the basement, should that be an option. The dining area is separated from the kitchen by a prep island and eating bar. The room boasts an optional buffet, as well as french doors to a covered deck, making outdoor meals and year-round grilling an easy choice. The kitchen features an L-shaped counter configuration, to save steps for the busy cook, and natural light will stream through the window, with an extra-wide sill for plants, over the double sink. A walk-in pantry located in a corner offers always-welcome storage space. The master suite overlooks the back garden and includes an ensuite with a double sink and soaker tub, as well as a shower stall. The toilet is enclosed for privacy. The fitted walk-in closet will be spacious enough for a couple’s clothing and accessories. Handy to the second bedroom or den, which overlooks a covered porch near the front entrance, is a three-piece bathroom, where a door and an archway lead out to the foyer. The laundry room contains the linen closet and a coat closet for family gear, and includes a doorway to the double garage. This home measures 40 feet wide by 63 feet, six inches deep, for a total of 1,451 square feet on the main floor. Ceilings rise to nine feet throughout the main floor.
