Craftsman style has been given a country edge to make this four-bedroom family plan a real eye-catcher. The covered porch invites guests into a distinctive and warm home. The foyer boasts a decorative staircase which offers views to the floor above. A half-wall opens up the living room from the foyer and a dropped ceiling effect gives the living room added character. The adjoining dining room has a useful buffet area and a sliding pocket door opens to the kitchen and family room. The kitchen is designed with a central island and eating bar for informal-dining. A pantry takes care of storage needs. The breakfast nook is attractively set into a bay, where a door opens on to the rear patio. The huge family room has a gas fireplace. This whole area offers plenty of space for the family to enjoy cooking, meals and day-to-day casual living. For those with different requirements, however, an alternative plan shows a smaller family room and space used for a den. Also included on the main floor is a good-sized laundry room with space for folding clothes and access from the double garage. A powder room is situated between the rear of the staircase and the laundry room. A display area in the main hall offers a place for plants or favourite collectibles. The sleeping areas upstairs include a large master suite privately located at the rear of the house, with a walk-in closet and three-piece en suite bathroom. The three secondary bedrooms share a three-piece bathroom. A railing at the top of the staircase opens up views to the floor below. Plant shelves add a decorative feature. The exterior of the house is shown with wood trim and stucco finish. The house is 40 feet wide and 50 feet deep with 2,141 square feet of living space and an unfinished basement.
