The plans for this two-bedroom charmer include an unfinished basement, adding extra space that could be used as extra bedrooms for a growing family, or – were local bylaws permit – a mortgage helper or in-law suite. Entry is through a porch flanked by pilasters that support an extra-high roof with decorative bracing in the gable. The foyer leads, at a slight angle and through an archway, to the open-plan great room complex. In the great room, large windows overlook a partly covered sundeck. The gas fireplace is located between two handy entertainment units. The dining room enjoys access to the deck, which will be ideal for summer meals al fresco, and natural light will stream in through large windows on two sides of the room. The kitchen is separated from the great room and dining room by a five-sided prep island, angled to save space. Countertops curve around the island in a J-shape, saving steps for the cook, and the extra-deep window sill over the double sink will provide a delightful showcase for potted plants and collectibles. Access to the master suite, overlooking the back garden, is through an arched enclosure at one end of the great room. The ensuite includes a shower stall and double basins, as well as a soaker tub located next to a window, for a touch of luxury. Beyond the ensuite is a roomy walk-in closet. The second bedroom, located at the front of the home, includes a built-in desk and an extra-wide window sill, the perfect spot to curl up with a good book. Adjacent to this bedroom is a three-piece bathroom. Completing the lay-out are a laundry room and coat closet, as well as a U-shaped stairway to the unfinished basement. The laundry room, with access of the large double garage, can also serve as a mud room. The garage has space for a workshop. Exterior finishes include coloured stucco, horizontal siding, painted trim and shutters on the kitchen window. This home measures 46 feet wide by 63 feet deep, for a total of 1,616 square feet, plus the unfinished basement.
