The best things come in small packages, and this three-bedroom family home is no exception. And with the optional basement included in the plans, the home is designed to grow along with a growing family. Entry is across the U-shaped veranda that wraps around the front of the house, into a foyer with a coat closet. A half-wall separates the foyer from great room, which includes an optional gas fireplace and entertainment unit. Flowing from the great room is the dining area, with a space-saving optional buffet flanked by windows. Adjacent is the kitchen, featuring an island and seating bar. The window over the double sink boasts an extra-deep sill, perfect for displaying plants and knickknacks. The U-shaped counter configuration promises efficiency. A door next to the roomy pantry opens on to an outdoor terrace. The master suite also features a window with an extra-deep sill, and includes a three-piece ensuite and a generous walk-in closet. The second bedroom also enjoys an extra-deep sill, and shares a three-piece bathroom with the third bedroom, which could do double duty as a den or work room. Choosing the basement option will carve a little space from the laundry room, which is conveniently located near the bedrooms and enjoys access to the double garage. Exterior finishes include stucco cladding, stone-based pilasters and decorative detailing in the gables, as well as a wooden railing around the veranda. This home measures 49 feet wide by 49 feet, 10 inches deep, for a total of 1,299 square feet of living space, not including the basement.
