A south-facing view lot would be perfect for this sprawling executive rancher where three of the most used rooms — the master bedroom, the living room and the family room — have doors leading to a large rear sundeck. Initial views on entering are of the formal areas of the home. A large living room with an over height ceiling is directly ahead.

A separate dining room is just to the side. The V-shaped kitchen has plenty of counter and cupboard space along with a pantry for storing bulk foods. The laundry room is conveniently located adjacent to the kitchen and can double as a mud room off the garage.

The breakfast/family room areas are cheerful and functional. A see-through gas fireplace between the family room and living room adds contemporary flair and warmth on winter nights. The bedroom area is well separated from the rest of the home.

There are two good-size secondary bedrooms, one with an appealing window seat. The luxurious master bedroom is a true suite, reached down a short hall which helps to create a feeling of privacy. There is enough room for a dressing area and a makeup vanity, or for a reading nook and a writing desk.

The five-piece ensuite bathroom boasts a soaker tub and a wall of glass block. The bedroom itself is also flooded with natural light from the french doors and large corner windows. This flexible plan includes a full basement with sliding glass doors to the backyard and an angled triple garage.

The California style exterior is shown here with a stucco finish and large pillars surrounding the covered entry. The house is 85 feet, 10 inches wide and 85 feet, 3 inches deep with 2,237 square feet of living space and an unfinished basement.
