This compact two-bedroom plan is designed for a rear sloping lot. The elevated sundeck makes it perfect for a property with a view. A welcoming entry, with a coat closet and display shelves, leads to a multi-purpose great room that is sure to be the hub of the home.

The great room has large windows looking out to the sundeck and a gas fireplace that can also be fully enjoyed from the adjoining kitchen. An angled work island and raised bar between the kitchen and the great room provides plenty of countertop for casual meals, and for preparing and serving food. The great room also has a dining area with space to put a china cabinet.

From here, sliding glass doors open to the sundeck, making summer barbecues easy to organize. In the bedroom wing, the master suite has a large walk-in closet and a four-piece en suite bathroom. The second bedroom has a boxed out window facing the front yard and is situated beside the home’s main three-piece bathroom.

A laundry room between the kitchen and the garage includes a closet to store outerwear. A small window in the laundry provides fresh-air ventilation in summer. Stairs from the centre of the home lead to an unfinished basement that could be converted to a recreation room, guest accommodation or even a separate suite.

This plan has 1,417 square feet of finished living area and measures 47 feet wide by 52 feet, six inches deep.
