A huge wraparound deck and stone feature give instant appeal to this open-plan, three-bedroom rancher. Inside the foyer, a half-wall separates the living room, which combines with the dining area and kitchen to make one immense great room. Instead of one rectangular room, however, this area is angled so that the kitchen and dining room are cleverly separated but still open to one another.

The living room has a bay window and a gas fireplace positioned to be seen from all areas of the great room. Windows on either side of the fireplace add to the natural light that flows through this area. The kitchen has a work island and a walk-in pantry to make meal preparation easier for the cooks in the house.

Between the dining and living areas french doors lead out to a good-sized covered sun deck -an invitation to take meals out of doors during the warmer months. An open, extensive sun deck wraps around the entire right side of the house, reaching from the front entrance to the stairs leading down to the garden at the rear. This feature of the house is sure to be enjoyed both by the family and the.ir guests.

The sleeping wing includes the master suite at the rear, with a three-piece en suite bathroom and generous-sized walk-in closet. Bedrooms two and three share the main, three-piece bathroom. Bedroom No.3, with a boxed-out window, could be used as a study or den if a third bedroom is not needed.

Next to the coat cupboard in the foyer are the stairs leading down to the basement. A skylight at the top of the stairs makes sure there is plenty of natural light in this area. The laundry room has access to the double garage.

The plan includes an unfinished walk-out basement for expansion when needed. The house is 58 feet, 4 inches wide and 47 feet, 10 inches deep with 1, 594 square feet of living space and the unfinished basement.
