Large in function but small in square footage, this spectacular plan may be built as a single family home or a multi-family residence.

The plan flows visually from its open foyer to the decorative staircase and continues to the upper floor living areas.

A den adjacent to the front entry is ideally located for use as a home office, where visitors may step right in without having to walk through the rest of the house. A box window adds a decorative element to the room.

The basement level has been given a rough layout that is designed for future living space, including bedrooms, bathroom, and an expansive recreation room with a roughed-in wet bar and a door to the covered patio at the rear.

The laundry area and additional coat storage are accessible from the double-car garage and the main entry.

The upstairs living areas are models of efficient design. The living room is offset by a decorative railing overlooking the foyer below and a gas fireplace provides a cosy focus for guests to enjoy during the cooler times of the year.

French doors from the dining room open to the spacious kitchen and family areas.

The kitchen is particularly large, with a pantry, a central work island and an eating bar that serves as an informal divider between the kitchen and the bright breakfast/family room. Sliding glass doors open on to the large rear sun deck, which offers an inviting opportunity for outdoor meals or barbecues.

The master suite has a tall window, a deluxe private bathroom and a roomy walk-in closet.

Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a three-piece bathroom with a skylight to add natural light.

A display area between the two secondary bedrooms provides the opportunity to accent the hallway here with plants or favourite collectibles.

A large linen closet offers extra storage space.

The exterior brick accents and decorative windows combine to make this design the showcase home on the block.

The house is 40 feet, 8 inches wide and 52 feet, 4 inches deep with 1,539 square feet of finished floor space.
