More than 1,200 square feet of spectacular design is encompassed in this simple straight-entry plan. An unfinished basement is included in the layout to make sure additional space is available for expansion, if this is required. A raised, covered entrance leads into an inviting foyer, bathed with natural light from a skylight overhead.

The kitchen is located next to the foyer, making it conveniently close to the front door for carrying in the groceries. A decorative window box will provide year-round floral enjoyment and lighten the dishwashing chores when standing at the sink. The breakfast area has an abundance of windows and will be an attractive room to enjoy a morning coffee as well as all casual meals.

A walk-in pantry and a broom closet separate the breakfast area from the rectangular dining room and living room combination. A gas fireplace located in the corner of the living room offers a cosy focus for cooler evenings. A half-wall on the stairwell makes the living-dining room seem larger and sliding glass doors open on to a large rear sun deck, further expanding the space.

The sun deck will offer the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors or perhaps to relax after dinner. The master suite also enjoys access to the sun deck. A three-piece en suite bathroom and a roomy walk-in closet complete the master suite.

A second bedroom has use of an adjoining three-piece bathroom. The large double-car garage has access to the main living areas through the laundry room and also has a side-yard entrance. The exterior of the house is finished with vinyl or wood siding and brick accents.

The house is 46 feet wide and 52 feet, 4 inches deep with 1,282 square feet of living space and an unfinished basement. With its open, informal layout, this attractive one-storey home offers ease of living within a compact size.
