The plans for this charming two-bedroom bungalow, designed specifically for a lot that slopes to the back, include an unfinished basement that could provide space for extra bedrooms or for a secondary suite or mortgage-helper. Entry is through a covered porch, always welcome in inclement weather, into a foyer. To the immediate left is a coat closet, adjacent to the doorway for the second bedroom, which could double as a den or home office. Nearby is a three-piece bathroom, as well as the U-shaped stairway that leads to the basement. Beyond is the open-plan family area, including the great room, which boasts a dramatic vaulted ceiling and a gas fireplace. Both the great room and the dining area look out to a covered deck at the back of the home, the perfect spot for year-round grilling. The kitchen is separated from the rest of the family area by a prep island, so the cook will never feel isolated. Natural light will flood through the window over the double sink, and a pantry will offer extra storage space. Generous counter space adds to this room’s appeal. The master suite overlooks the back garden for privacy, and includes an ensuite with double basins and a shower stall. The oval soaker tub has a tiled surround for a touch of luxury, and occupies its own niche with a window. A walk-in closet completes the lay-out. The laundry room, with access to the double garage, will also serve as a mudroom. A linen closet is nearby, together with a coat closet for family gear. Exterior finishes include horizontal siding with contrasting wooden shingles in the gables. Pilasters with brick bases mark the entry, and brick accents flank the decorative garage door. This home measures 42 feet wide by 55 feet deep, for a total of 1,470 square feet, not including the unfinished basement.
