The façade of this appealing home, with its brick and board-and-batten accents and decorative roundels in each gable brings to mind the charm of England’s Edwardian era. The covered entry opens into a roomy foyer, with a coast closet on the left. To the right, through an archway, is a formal dining room, with windows looking onto a porch and the front garden. Directly ahead, through another archway, is the great room, boasting a dramatic vaulted ceiling. The gas fireplace will make this room cozy during the winter months, while French doors nearby lead to a deck for relaxing on warm days. The kitchen is separated from the great room by a three-seat eating bar, ideal for casual meals and snacks. A double sink overlooks the deck area, part of which is covered. A roomy corner pantry will provide extra storage space and the U-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook. Adjacent to the kitchen is a laundry room, which will double as a mud room, thanks to access to the double garage. The closet near the laundry room will provide space for family clothing and gear. The master suite overlooks the back garden and includes a roomy ensuite and walk-in closet. Double sinks in the ensuite will ease the morning rush hour, and a tub offers an alternative to the shower stall. The children will have to draw straws to choose bedrooms – the larger one contains its own walk-in closet, as well as a window seat. Both secondary bedrooms face the front garden, and share a three-piece bathroom that includes a towel cupboard. A linen closet is located near the staircase. The plans include a 358-square-foot bonus room, located over the garage, which would be ideal as a home office or studio. This home measures 64 feet wide and 51 feet, two inches deep, for a total of 2,286 square feet.
