This two-bedroom home is designed to take advantage of a rear-view lot, with an above-ground basement that will provide for future expansion. The foyer is bright with natural light that floods through the glass-paneled front door, as well as the sidelights and side windows. Inside the entrance, the foyer offers an immediate view of the great room. This spacious area features a sloping ceiling, a boxed-out window with a windowsill and a natural gas fireplace that will contribute a cosy focus during the winter months. An attractive half-wall in the adjoining dining room overlooks the staircase leading down to the basement. An optional buffet will extend the dining room’s storage area and ease meal service. A sliding pocket door separates the dining room from the fully-equipped kitchen, which includes a useful walk-in pantry for extra storage. The master suite, kitchen and breakfast nook all take full advantage of the rear view. A door from the nook opens on to an extensive sun deck — just the place to enjoy al fresco dining during the summer. The central part of the main floor plan includes a three-piece bathroom and a laundry room, as well as linen, broom and coat closets. The second bedroom enjoys a side view and includes a closet with bi-fold doors.

The double garage echoes the design of the house, with a side door and a window that will brighten this sometimes-dark area. Because the garage has access to the house through the laundry room, it can double as a mud room. The house measures 47 feet wide and 49 feet deep, totalling 1,321 square feet of living space in addition to the unfinished basement.
