In this spacious two-storey family home, which includes an unfinished basement, all the bedrooms, including the master suite, are located on the second floor, together with the laundry room. A spacious covered veranda marks the entry, providing shelter from the elements, and leads into a foyer with a coat closet on the left. Directly ahead is a display cabinet, tucked in between a powder room and the U-shaped staircase to the basement and second floor. At the heart of the home is the great room, with a dramatic double-story ceiling near the gas fireplace, as well as french doors that open to a covered deck and the back garden. Between the great room and the kitchen is a breakfast area with its own window. The kitchen is divided from the breakfast area by a three-seat eating bar. A window over the kitchen’s double sink offers a view to the back garden, and a U-shaped counter configuration promises to save steps for the cook. A nearby pantry will provide plenty of storage space. The formal dining room also includes french doors to a sunny terrace, and is separated from the rest of the main floor by an archway. Near the windows, a double-height ceiling adds drama. There is access from the double garage to the foyer. A spacious den, featuring large windows that overlook the front garden, completes the main-floor layout. Upstairs, the master suite is located at the back of the home for privacy. The generous ensuite includes a soaker tub with its own window, as well as a shower stall and double basins. A roomy walk-in closet will accommodate even the most fashion-conscious couple’s belongings. The second and third bedrooms share a three-piece bathroom. The third bedroom boasts a built-in desk. The laundry room overlooks the front garden and includes built-in counters for folding and sorting. The exterior includes horizontal siding, with decorative board-and-batten cladding in the gables. Painted woodwork and stone-based pilasters lend the home an elegant air. This home measures 52 feet wide and 49 feet, six inches deep, with nine-foot ceilings throughout. Total living space is 2,160 square feet, not including the unfinished basement.
