This straight-entry bungalow is designed with options to expand the space and provide useful additional rooms for family enjoyment. By choosing a rear sloping lot, a daylight basement could be built across the back, offering the opportunity to add a workshop area, spare bedroom or rec room, as desired. Within slightly more than 1,250 square feet of living space, rooms are spacious and easily accessible in this three-bedroom plan.

The laundry room is conveniently located just off the foyer with access from the garage – a practical arrangement that gives the laundry a secondary use as a mud-room. The large, U-shaped kitchen is designed for maximum efficiency. A sliding glass door in the breakfast nook opens on to the sun deck to enjoy summertime barbecues and outdoor meals.

The living room and dining room are combined in one large, comfortable area for entertaining or family relaxation. This room is highlighted by a cosy gas fireplace and a skylight that adds natural light to the entry and living areas. The master suite is particularly spacious for a home of this size and includes a three-piece en suite with a corner shower stall.

Elegant mirrored closet doors would add depth and style to the suite. Bedrooms two and three share a three-piece bathroom, conveniently located in the central hall. Handsome stone accents on the exterior complement the bay window.

Cedar, vinyl or aluminum siding could be used, depending on personal choice and maintenance requirements. The house is designed for a narrow lot and is 39 feet, 4 inches wide and 52 feet deep with 1,252 square feet and an optional unfinished basement.
