The thoughtful design touches in this three-bedroom bungalow – such as the extra-high ceiling in the foyer and the soaker tub in the master bedroom’s en-suite – will more than make up for the fact that there’s no basement. However, the plans include an optional stairway, should the purchasers consider including a basement, always useful for an extra bedroom or storage space. A covered entry, set off by two brick pillars with wooden struts on top, leads through the foyer – with a ceiling measuring 10 feet, six inches high – to the open-plan kitchen and dining area, with nine-foot ceilings.

The great room, located at the back of the home enjoys French doors to a patio, and also features a gas fireplace, truly making it a room for all seasons. The kitchen features an L-shaped counter area. Natural light will flood in through the window over the kitchen sink, as well as that in the dining area.

The work area includes an eating bar. A roomy pantry provides extra storage space. An archway leads to the master suite, overlooking the back garden and including an en-suite and walk-in closet.

The soaker tub has a tiled surround, and the double sinks will ease the morning rush-hour. The closet is capacious enough for a couple’s shoes and accessories. The second bedroom is adjacent to a three-piece bathroom, while the third bedroom, which can double as a den, overlooks the front garden and contains a built-in desk.

The laundry room includes a handy shelf, as well as a bench with coat-hooks. Access to the double garage means the laundry room can also serve as a mud room. Should a basement be desired, the plans include an optional stairway located near the master bedroom.

Exterior finishes include wood siding and painted trim, as well as brick accents. This home measures 35 feet wide and 58 feet deep, for a total of 1,447 square feet of living space on one floor.
