Today’s active retirees will appreciate this spacious, well-planned design, which is all on one level. Containing all the comforts of a larger executive home, this design offers the perfect mix of contemporary and traditional features. An open-area kitchen and great room that overlook the back garden are ideal for casual entertaining, as well as for day-to-day living.

At the front of the house, a formal dining room is perfect for special occasions. The well-organized kitchen features a bay window over double sinks, an angled eating bar and a breakfast nook that will be flooded with natural light from a large bayed window. From the breakfast nook, french doors open on to a spacious sundeck, making the room even brighter.

The adjoining great room includes an eye-catching corner fireplace and a picture window overlooking the sundeck and the garden below. Nine-foot ceilings throughout the home add to the feeling of spaciousness. Three bedrooms are possible, although one of these rooms (at the front of the house) would also make a terrific home office or studio.

The master bedroom suite has a roomy walk-in closet and a four-piece ensuite bathroom. Situated at the back of the house for maximum quiet and privacy, it boasts two side windows as well as sliding glass doors to the back sundeck. A second three-piece bathroom serves the second and third bedrooms.

The laundry room, which leads to the double garage, makes a handy spot for shedding coats and boots upon entering. Just outside the laundry area, a staircase with a decorative open railing leads to a full unfinished basement. The exterior of the house has a charming cottage-y look, with shingle accents, stone trim and a sweeping curved roof over the entry.

This home measures 56 feet wide and 57 feet deep, with 1,755 square feet of finished living space.
