A heritage-style house is appealing to look at and to live in and also is relatively inexpensive to build. Shingle accents, craftsman pillars and decorative mouldings distinguish the exterior of this three-bedroom design. Inside the covered entrance, the foyer is open to a large living room with a 10-foot ceiling that boosts the feeling of spaciousness. A gas fireplace will add to the enjoyment of this formal room during the cooler months. The dining room is an extension of the living room and includes a useful buffet space. A sliding pocket door separates a generous-sized kitchen with corner sinks, a pantry and plenty of countertop space for preparing meals. The breakfast area leads on to a rear patio through sliding glass doors. A sizable family room has a gas fireplace and ample space for the family to enjoy day-to-day informal living. A laundry room with linen closet and a study are reached through a short hallway from the family room. A two-piece powder room off the foyer and a coat cupboard complete the main- floor layout. A two-tiered winding staircase with decorative railings leads upstairs, where a plant shelf enhances the area overlooking the floor below. The master suite has a large walk-in closet and a three-piece en suite bathroom. The two secondary bedrooms share a three-piece bathroom with plenty of natural light from a skylight. The double-car garage has a side window and side entrance and access to the house opposite the laundry room. The house is 46 feet wide and 39 feet deep with 1,842 square feet of living space and an unfinished basement.
