The comfort of a cottage combines with contemporary amenities in this two-bedroom family home, with its shingled exterior and partly mullioned windows. Entry is through a covered L-shaped porch. Directly ahead is the great-room complex, with generous windows overlooking a covered deck and the back garden beyond. Adjacent and open to the great room, the dining room also boasts a large window, as well as access to the covered deck, so family and guests can enjoy outdoor grilling year-round. The kitchen, separated from the dining room and great room by a prep island, features a spacious walk-in pantry and an L-shaped counter configuration. Natural light will stream in through the window over the double sink. The master suite overlooks the back garden for privacy, and is well-separated from the second bedroom. A large walk-in closet is accessible from the bedroom through the ensuite, which includes double basins and a shower stall. Asoaker tub adds a touch of spa-like luxury. Across the corridor from the kitchen, the laundry room includes a coat cupboard as well as access to the double garage, enabling this room to double as a mud room. A linen cupboard is handily located next to the laundry room. Near the stairway leading to the unfinished basement, included with this plan, is a coat cupboard. The second bedroom, situated next to the garage, overlooks the front garden and boasts its own three-piece bathroom, as well as a window with an extra-deep sill. Ceilings are nine-feet high throughout. Exterior finishes include wooden shingles, river-stone accents and painted trim.
