Natural rock facing gives traditional appeal to the exterior of this three-bedroom design. Inside, an efficient layout makes the most of nearly 1,400 square feet of living space. The covered entry leads to an airy foyer with an 11-foot high ceiling.

Nine-foot ceilings are found throughout the rest of the house. To the right of the foyer, a third bedroom could also be used as a home office. To the left, a short hall leads to the second bedroom and a three-piece bathroom; both are well placed for houseguests.

In the centre of the home, a staircase leads to the unfinished basement. Classical archways add architectural interest. A railing between the stairs and the great room contributes to the overall feeling of openness.

The great room is enhanced by a large window facing the rear sundeck and a gas fireplace. A long work island divides the great room from the kitchen. One side of this island is raised to make a breakfast bar.

The other contains double sinks and a built-in dishwasher. Ample cupboards in the kitchen include a corner pantry. The island is also fitted with pull-out drawers for storage.

Sliding glass doors to the sundeck expand the dining area in summer. The master bedroom suite is situated at the back of the house and boasts a picture window overlooking the backyard. A door from the bedroom opens to the sun deck.

A walk-in closet and three-piece ensuite complete the suite. A laundry room leading to the garage has storage cupboards for outdoor clothing and linens as well as a washing tub. The hot water tank and furnace are located in the unfinished basement.

This home measures 39 feet wide by 58 feet deep and has 1,380 square feet of living space.
