In this handsome three-bedroom ranch-style home, vaulted ceilings in not only the great room and dining room, but the kitchen as well, lend these important areas a sense of lofty elegance and spaciousness. The covered entry leads into a compact foyer with a coat closet on the left and a U-shaped stairway to the unfinished basement, included in the plans. Directly ahead, through an archway, is the great room, with a corner fireplace located so that it will cast its rosy glow into the kitchen and dining room. Natural light will flood into the room through large windows that overlook a roomy sundeck at the back of the home. The dining room features sliding doors that open onto the covered portion of the deck that will provide a sheltered spot for year-round barbecuing. The kitchen features a work island with a raised, two-seat eating bar for casual meals and snacks. A large walk-in pantry will provide always-welcome storage space, and the window over the double sink overlooks the back garden. The master suite, located at the back of the house for privacy, also features a vaulted ceiling, as well as an entertainment unit and a display area that could accommodate collectibles or DVDs.

The walk-in closet should be roomy enough for even the most fashion-conscious couple’s clothing and accessories. In the ensuite, still another vaulted ceiling over the soaker tub, which is set into its own bayed-out nook, provides a touch of spa-like luxury. A glass shower stall and double basins complete the amenities. The two secondary bedrooms share a three-piece bath with a linen closet situated just inside the door. Bedroom No.

2 boasts an extra-wide window sill that could serve as a window seat. The double garage is spacious enough to include a workbench, and enjoys access to the laundry room, which includes a built-in table for folding sheets and towels, as well as a closet for family gear. Nearby is a powder room. This home measures 62 feet, five inches wide by 70 feet deep, for a total of 2,154 square feet of living space.
