This three-bedroom family home, with its attractive gabled roofline and generous covered veranda, combines the charm of a cottage with the convenience of a one-storey rancher, providing all the amenities required by a contemporary family. Entering the angled foyer, a formal dining room is to the left, with a doorway to the kitchen, and a coat closet is situated directly ahead, for guests’ convenience. The great room, separated from the foyer by a half-wall, features a large fireplace. The great room flows into the kitchen area and into a bayed-out nook, ideal for breakfast and casual meals. Working in this kitchen, the cook will never feel isolated, thanks to the open plan.

A window over the sink will let in lots of natural light. A prep island provides storage and counter space, and  a pantry provides additional storage. The master suite overlooks the back garden and boasts a walk-in closet as well as a spacious en suite with a soaker tub, double sinks and shower stall. The second bedroom has its own three-piece bathroom.

The laundry room contains a handy linen closet, and enjoys access to the double garage. Adjacent to the laundry room is a two-piece powder room for guests. The third bedroom, handily located by the front entrance, could double as a home office or den. Exterior finishes include wood siding, painted trim, square columns and vertical siding over the garage doors.

The home measures 50 feet wide and 70 feet deep, for a total of 1,929 square feet.
