An L-shaped veranda that wraps around the front and one side lends this three-bedroom bungalow a load of character. The veranda links up with a covered deck at the back and extends across the front to the covered entrance. The front door, with side lights and a top light, leads in to a foyer with a handsome coffered ceiling. To the left, through an archway, is the living room, featuring a dramatic sloping ceiling. Windows look out to the front veranda, and the gas fireplace will make the room a haven in the cooler months.

Directly ahead, separated from the living room only by its lower ceiling, is the dining room. The built-out buffet will be handy for serving and storage. Access to a covered deck from sliding glass doors will make serving al fresco meals a breeze. Adjacent to the dining room and divided from it by a large prep island is the kitchen. The cook will appreciate the efficient L-shaped counter configuration, as well as the window over the double sink. A spacious pantry completes the lay-out. The roomy master suite is located at the back of the home, for privacy, and a large window overlooks the back garden. The sloping ceiling echoes that in the living room. The four-piece ensuite includes a soaker tub and a shower stall, and the walk in closet will be spacious enough for a couple’s clothing and accessories. The secondary bedrooms share a three-piece bath. A linen closet is conveniently located outside the third bedroom. The laundry room, adjacent to the second bedroom, includes a coat closet as will as a side-by-side washer and dryer and a shelf. From the laundry room, a doorway leads to the double garage, which also includes access to the side garden. Exterior finishes includes horizontal siding, with contrasting vertical siding in the gables. Brick-based pilasters outline the veranda, and the garage has a barn-style door. This home measures 48 feet wide and 60 feet, six inches deep, for a total of 1,544 square feet.
