A formal dining room takes center stage in this three-bedroom rancher which also boasts a cheerful great room for casual entertaining. The plan concentrates the main living areas to one side, making it well-suited to a corner lot. The front entry is tucked behind the bayed dining room.

For a more privacy, the walkway leading to the front door could be enclosed to create a small courtyard. The foyer leads directly into the kitchen and great room where a gas fireplace adds warmth on cooler evenings. The kitchen itself is well planned, with good cupboard space and an angled work area that faces into the great room.

Ceilings throughout are nine-feet high, adding to the home’s spacious feeling. A door from the great room opens to a partially covered sun deck with steps down to the garden. An eating nook beside the kitchen is ideal for casual meals and features a large picture window that looks out to the deck.

The kitchen is open to the home’s central hall which leads to three bedrooms, a three-piece bathroom and the laundry room. This hall also has access to an unfinished basement. The master bedroom suite has a three-piece ensuite bathroom and a large walk-in closet.

Bedrooms two and three are of equal size. Both feature a boxed window facing the side yard. This home measures 40 feet wide by 58 feet deep and has 1,416 square feet of living space.

The plan includes an unfinished basement.
