Compact and snug, this delightful three-bedroom home includes all the features demanded by today’s families — and on a single floor. The double-height foyer is reached via a covered entry. To the right is Bedroom No. 3, which could easily double as a den or home office. Beyond the foyer, which contains a coat closet on the left, is the family area, comprising an open-plan great room, dining area and kitchen. The kitchen features a raised seating bar and prep island, as well as an L-shaped counter configuration, for maximum efficiency. An extra-wide window sill over the sink will make the perfect spot to display plants and collectibles. Two pantries and a linen closet are located nearby. The dining room features an optional built-in buffet, and has access to a large sundeck, where family members and guests alike will enjoy summertime meals and relaxation. The great room, with access to the sundeck, boasts a dramatic double-height ceiling. The fireplace tucked into one corner will not only provide cozy warmth during the cooler months, it will also serve as a magnet for family activities. The master suite, with its own private sundeck, includes a roomy walk-in closet, as well as a well-appointed four-piece bath, where a shower and soaker tub occupy a bayed-out nook with a window. The second bedroom shares a three-piece bathroom with Bedroom No. 3. The laundry room includes a two-way cupboard, ideal for storing off-season gear. Access to the double garage means the laundry room can double as a mud room. Exterior features include decorative wooden touches under the front window, as well as cross-bracing in the gables. Stone accents on either side of the garage and under the corner pilaster underscore the home’s aura of solid comfort.
