The plans for this narrow two-storey family home, just 22 feet by eight inches wide, offer room for expansion in the form of a future fourth bedroom on the ground floor, plus a den and a possible mortgage-helper or in-law suite. The front door, flanked by glass panes, opens into a foyer with a coat closet on the left and a storage closet ahead and to the left, just before the L-shaped stairway that leads to the main living floor. Upstairs, the great-room complex occupies the back of the home, with a doorway onto a sundeck that will offer space for relaxing and outdoor meals during the summer months. Both the great room and dining room feature a sloping ceiling. The great room includes a gas fireplace for cozy family gatherings during the winter. The dining room separated from the kitchen and great room by a three-seat eating bar and prep island, boasts a handy built-out buffet. In the kitchen, the L-shaped counter configuration promises efficiency. Natural light will filter through the window over the sink. A pantry will provide extra storage space. The laundry room is located between the kitchen and the stairwell, which is railed for safety. Opposite the stairwell is the third bedroom, which shares a three-piece bathroom with the second bedroom, located at the front of the home. A linen closet is situated nearby, along with a display cabinet for collectibles.The master suite overlooks the front garden and includes an en-suite with a soaker tub and glassed-in shower stall, as well as a walk-in closet. On the ground floor, the single garage enjoys entry to the foyer. The kitchen and bathroom for a secondary suite have been roughed in, and a future fourth bedroom is located at the back of the home, along with a covered patio. The exterior of this home is clad in horizontal siding, with brick-based pilasters marking the entrance. One window is bayed, with decorative shutters and a window box, while the others are partly mullioned. The gables feature cedar shingles and ornamental woodwork. This home measures 22 feet, eight inches wide and 65 feet, six inches deep, for a total of 1,274 square feet, not including the secondary suite and basement area.
