The rockwork façade, multiple gables and wide veranda of this single-level two-bedroom home, coupled with an unusual and well-designed layout, will draw numerous admiring glances and enhance any neighbourhood.  A covered entry provides shelter from the elements, and a skylight illuminates the foyer.  The huge, open great-room complex, located at the back of the house, contains all the features desired by today’s busy homeowners. In the family area, the gas fireplace will cast its rosy glow into the kitchen and dining room during the cooler months. French doors open onto a large sundeck, partly covered to extend its use throughout the year.  The kitchen features an eating bar and work island that not only provides extra storage space but serves as a spot for casual meals. Natural light will flood into the work space through the window over the kitchen sink. Plenty of counter space will make life easier for the family cooks, and a walk-in pantry offers abundant space for staples. Tucked in next to the stairway, which leads down to the unfinished basement that is included with the plans, is a handy phone desk. Nearby is a coat closet.  The double garage has access to a generous laundry room, with its built-in counters and ironing board, as well as a storage cupboard that will be ideal for outdoor furniture and off-season gear. The garage, set at an angle, influences the interior plan and adds interest to the view from the street.  The master suite, overlooking the front garden, includes a walk-in closet and linen cupboard. The large ensuite, lit by a skylight, features a soaker tub with a tiled surround, in addition to a shower stall. On the foyer side of this area, a display case will provide a personal touch for visitors and family members alike.  The main three-piece bathroom adjoins the second bedroom, which has its own linen closet near the corner entrance. This home measures 54 feet, eight inches wide and 57 feet, four inches deep, for a total of 1,630 square feet of living space, plus the unfinished basement.
