In this gracious three-bedroom family home, the main living area is on the upper floor, while space on the ground floor is set apart for a 600-square-foot in-law suite or mortgage-helper, with a roughed-in five-piece bathroom and a covered patio. A covered porch shelters the front door, which opens into a roomy foyer. Adjacent to the stairway leading up to the living area is a coat closet. A den is to the left, ideally located to double as a home office, with the laundry room behind it. The den‘s windows overlook the front porch. Upstairs, the generous great room features a gas fireplace flanked by windows. French doors open onto a partly covered deck, ideal for year-round barbecuing, with a smaller sundeck nearby. A desk is tucked in between a window and the staircase railing. The great room flows seamlessly into the dining area, which has a window overlooking the side yard. The dining area is divided from the kitchen only by a prep island, so the cook will always be able to take part in family activities or chat with guests. The kitchen enjoys access to a sundeck that overlooks the back garden. The L-shaped counter configuration will save steps and natural light will flood through the window over the double sink. A pantry will provide extra storage space. In the sleeping wing, the spacious master bedroom is well-separated from the two secondary bedrooms by a corridor. Along with an extra-wide window sill that could accommodate a seat, the master suite includes a roomy walk-in closet. The ensuite’s WC is separated by a doorway from the rest of the room, which includes double basins and a shower stall, as well as a soaker tub with a tiled surround, set at an angle in a corner with windows. The secondary bedrooms, equal in size, overlook the back garden and she a three-piece bathroom. A linen closet is located near the french doors to the master suite. Ceilings on the main living floor all measure nine feet. In the double garage, there is room for a small workshop. Exterior finishes include vertical board-and-batten siding, wooden pilasters with stone bases and stone accents near the front entry and garage doors. The upstairs deck has a glass surround.
