This handsome two-storey home, with its steeply pitched roof-line, offers everything a contemporary family requires for today’s busy lifestyle. Entry is through a covered porch and into the ground-floor foyer, which boasts a dramatic double-height ceiling. A coat closet is located near the stairs to the main floor, and the laundry room is tucked behind the closet. Extra storage is located under the staircase. To the left of the foyer is a den, ideally located for a home office, since visitors and clients won’t have to traipse through the home to reach it. Upstairs, the great room occupies the front of the home. With a vaulted ceiling to add flair, this room also enjoys access to a large L-shaped sundeck. Open to the great room, the dining room features a distinctive dropped ceiling and an optional built-out buffet. A covered deck area beyond French doors will make the perfect spot for year-round barbecuing. The kitchen is separated from the dining room by an eating bar, just the place for casual meals and snacks. The efficient U-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook, who will also appreciate the spacious pantry and easy access to a covered patio that overlooks the back garden, making outdoor meals a breeze. A touch of luxury pervades the master suite, situated at the back of the house for privacy and featuring its own built-in entertainment unit. French doors that open on to a secluded patio, a vaulted ceiling and a spacious walk-in closet all add to the atmosphere. The large ensuite features a soaker tub with its own window, as well as a corner shower stall. The second and third bedrooms share a three-piece bathroom, and a linen closet is conveniently located nearby. The second bedroom’s built-in desk is sure to make studying less of a chore. On the exterior, shingles and wood siding lend an air of old-world charm, enhanced by the mullioned windows, painted trim and stone chimney. The front door boasts a side window, and a wooden pilaster with a stone base echoes the other stone accents. All interior ceilings are nine feet high. The double garage is roomy enough to include a small workshop. Measuring 39 feet wide and 55 feet, six inches deep, this home contains 1,453 square feet of living space.
