The comfortable grace of this two-storey, three-bedroom family home, is obvious from the exterior, and continues indoors with a layout that puts the main living areas on the second floor. The compact foyer on the ground floor, with a handy coat closet on the right, leads to an L-shaped flight of stairs, with a useful storage area tucked beneath them. To the right is a den, well situated for a home office. Beyond the den, which features a window with an extra-wide sill, is the laundry room. At the back of the ground floor, the basement is unfinished, with a roughed-in three-piece bathroom, ready for a time when the need for space increases. Upstairs, the great room boasts generous bayed-out windows that overlook the front garden, as well as a fireplace.

The great room flows seamlessly into the dining area, where another bayed-out window, this one overlooking the side garden, provides space for a table large enough for guests, as well as family. The compact kitchen is open to the dining room, and its U-shaped counter configuration will save the cook many steps. Both kitchen and dining room enjoy access to a spacious sundeck, with stairs down to the back garden. The master suite overlooks the back garden for privacy. The walk-through closet, with plenty of space for a couple’s clothing, leads into the three-piece en suite. The second and third bedrooms share a large three-piece bath, which includes a linen cupboard near the entrance. Exterior finishes include stucco, shingles and painted trim on the gables.

Unpainted wooden trim sets off the partly mullioned windows, and stone-based pilasters flank the front door and two-car garage. This home measures 25 feet wide by 50 feet deep, for a total of 2,027 square feet.
