A board-and-batten exterior with brick features and a welcoming porch distinguish the exterior of this basement-entry plan. It would be the ideal home for a family that needs room to expand, or to serve as a two-family home. As well as three bedrooms on the main floor, the design includes the option of converting the basement-level den to a fourth bedroom if more sleeping rooms are needed. The open-plan living area includes a spacious great room facing the front. A gas fireplace adds a cosy focus and an emphasis on windows makes sure there is an abundance of natural light. The kitchen has an arched opening and a good-sized work island with a raised eating bar alongside the dining room. This area is designed to allow the cook-of-the-day to stay in touch with other family members while preparing meals. French doors in the dining room open on to a large sun deck with stairs down to the back garden. In the sleeping area, the master suite is located at the rear of the house. A four-piece en suite bathroom includes an oversized soaker tub set into a bay. A laundry room, linen cupboards and the main bathroom separate the master suite from the two family bedrooms at the front. The unfinished basement is thoughtfully designed for expansion needs, with space for two future bedrooms, roughed-in plumbing for a bathroom and a roughed-in wet bar in the recreation area. The house is 40 feet, 4 inches wide and 45 feet, 10 inches deep with 1,412 square feet of living space and a full basement.
