An inviting covered entrance with built-in seats on each side of pillars enhances the exterior of this straight-entry plan. The single-storey house is designed with a full basement and ground level access, making it ideally suited to a traditional-sized lot or a corner site with a view. This popular design places all the living areas on the main level. Glass block alongside the front door adds design flair as well as giving the foyer a pleasant portion of daylight. The living room/dining area has a featured gas fireplace and bench-style window details. This combined space allows the dining area to be expanded when needed to accommodate larger family gatherings. The kitchen is open, spacious and bright, with an abundance of natural light from the skylights above. A range on the island, a large pantry and a rounded telephone desk that could double as a homework area will make this a room to be appreciated by all the family. The breakfast area has an attractive bay window and sliding glass doors to a truly enormous sun deck that is sure to be used for year-round entertaining. The master suite is pleasantly and privately situated at the rear of the house. The four-piece en suite has a large soaker tub and a stall shower. Two secondary bedrooms share a main bathroom. Bedroom No. 3 could be used as a den, home office or hobby area if not needed as a bedroom. The double-car garage has convenient access to the home through the laundry room. The unfinished basement is reached from the main hall stairway. The style of this design is suitable for a rear sloping lot, although often it is built on flatter lots. If an in-ground basement is contemplated, before purchasing the plans first check the depth of the sewer services for proper drainage. The house is 40 feet wide and 60 feet, 8 inches deep with 1,473 square feet of finished living space and an unfinished basement.
