At the heart of this charming two-bedroom bungalow is an open-plan great-room complex that’s been designed to suit today’s casual lifestyle. The dining room boasts access to the covered portion of a sundeck that stretches the width of this home, making al fresco meals a breeze to serve. An optional built-out buffet will be an asset during dinner parties. In the great room, a corner gas fireplace will warm the entire space during the cooler months. The kitchen is separated from the rest of the area by a four-seat eating bar and work island. Natural light will flood through the window over the double sink. A pantry is located at one end of the L-shaped counter configuration, which will save steps for the cook. At the front of the home is a den overlooking the front veranda. This space, which incorporates a built-in desk and a clothes cupboard, could also serve as a second bedroom. The master suite features a window seat overlooking the back garden, the perfect place to curl up with a good book. A generous walk-in closet will provide lots of room for clothing and accessories. A skylight will brighten the ensuite, which boasts a soaker tub and a shower stall. Handy to the kitchen and foyer is a three-piece bathroom, located across the corridor from the laundry room, which includes a coat closet as well as access to the double garage. The foyer, which includes a coat closet and a display cabinet, is reached through a covered porch with a skylight. Exterior finishes include horizontal siding and wood shingles in the gable above the garage. Mullioned windows add character, as do the four stone pilasters that flank the entry and demarcate the veranda. This home measures 38 feet wide and 65 fee deep, for a total of 1,289 square feet of living space, plus the unfinished basement included in the plan.
