The cedar shakes that embellish the front exterior of this two-bedroom home, along with the charming covered porch with its vaulted ceiling, combine to lend this home the air of a fairy-tale cottage. The foyer, with a lofty vaulted ceiling that echoes that of the porch, offers a direct view into the great room, which also has a vaulted ceiling.  A gas fireplace will make this room a magnet on cool evenings, for family and visitors alike, while windows to the back will bring the outdoors inside. The dining room  is divided from the kitchen by a prep island. This room shares the great room’s vaulted ceiling, and enjoys access to the covered deck and spacious sundeck at the back, making al fresco dining a breeze during the warmer months. The kitchen will benefit from lots of natural light. A U-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook, and a corner pantry offers extra storage space. To the immediate left of the foyer is a three-piece bath, handy to the den or second bedroom, which boasts its own walk-in closet. A linen closet is located nearby. French doors from this room open onto the front veranda. Located at the back of the home to maximize privacy is the master suite, which features a large window with an extra-wide sill. The ensuite includes double basins and a soaker tub, as well as a shower stall. The walk-in closet will provide lots of space for a couple’s clothing and accessories. The laundry room, with a generous closet for family gear, includes access to the double garage, and will double as a mudroom. In addition to the cedar shakes, exterior finishes include horizontal siding and painted trim. Pilasters with stone bases outline the front veranda and entrance. Ceilings through measure nine feet. The home measures 46 feet wide and 52 feet, six inches deep, for a total of 1, 576 square feet of living space, in addition to the unfinished basement included with the plans.
