This rambling ranch-style home with its old-style veranda offers one-level living, always popular with young couples just starting out as well as empty nesters. A covered entry offers welcome protection from the elements, and leads into a spacious foyer. Directly ahead is the dining room, with the great room to the right. Wrapped on three sides by the veranda, which is supported by pilasters, the great room boasts a dramatic 15-foot ceiling, as well as a wood-burning fireplace. Natural light will flood into this room through its many windows. French doors open to part of the veranda, with steps down to the back garden. The dining room, with windows on two sides, is separated from the kitchen by a three-seat eating bar and prep island. The double sink and L-shaped counter configuration promise efficiency, and a large pantry provides always-welcome storage. Located at the back of the home for privacy, the master suite includes a four-piece en suite with a shower stall, as well as a soaker tub with a tiled surround, the perfect spot for relaxing after a long day. The large walk-in closet will provide lots of space for clothing and accessories. The second and third bedrooms are separated by the laundry room and share a three-piece bathroom. Linen and coat closets are handy to the laundry room, which has access to the double garage and can double as a mud room. The garage is roomy enough for a work bench. Exterior finishes include painted woodwork, horizontal siding and stone accents. Thanks to the L-shaped plan, the double garage’s doors face away from the street, creating a paved courtyard bordered by greenery. This home measures 64 feet, five inches wide and 66 feet deep, for a total of 1,732 square feet.
