Plans for this handsome two-storey, five-bedroom home include an unfinished basement, which might serve as an in-law suite or mortgage-helper, as well as a loft area with a built-in bookshelf on the upper floor. Entry is through a covered porch and a front door with sidelights. Inside the foyer, a den or fifth bedroom is to the right, with a three-piece bathroom adjacent.

The bathroom includes a linen cupboard, and the den features a barn door. Ahead is the stairway to the second floor, and beyond this are the kitchen, great room and dining area. The great room includes a gas fireplace, set in a bayed-out niche to save space, with three floor-to-ceiling windows that look out to the back garden.  Part of this room has a double-height ceiling.

Access to a partly covered sundeck is through sliding glass doors. The dining area also features multiple floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the sundeck. The kitchen is separated from the great room and dining area by a prep island with a double sink and dishwasher.

The L-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook, who will also appreciate the roomy  walk-in pantry. Access to the mudroom is from both the kitchen and the double garage, which is spacious enough to include a workshop. The mudroom includes a row of cubbyholes.

On the second floor, the master suit overlooks the back garden. The adjacent ensuite includes a soaker tub in a bayed-out niche with windows, as well as a shower stall and double sinks. The toilet is in a separate room.

A walk-in closet completes the lay-out. The second bedroom, located at the front of the home, includes a window with an extra-wide sill. Bedroom No.

3 is located between the three-piece bathroom and the laundry room, which has a large shelf for sorting and folding, as well as a sink and a closet. The fourth bedroom is the largest of the secondary bedrooms, and looks out to the back garden. Exterior finishes include stucco with brick and wood accents.

A large brick pillar is located near the front entry, echoing a brick-based wood pilaster opposite. This home measures 42 feet wide and 61 feet deep, for a total of 2,672 square feet, not including the unfinished basement.
