With its simple yet stylish exterior, this modest-sized design is suitable for country or urban settings. A covered entry and open foyer accent the facade while providing plenty of sheltered space while welcoming guests. The double garage and basement are at grade level.

The basement offers plenty of options for future expansion as a recreation room, a study or home office. Upstairs, the open floor plan puts available space to efficient use. The living room, which offers an inviting fireplace, is expanded by a sloping ceiling and a roundtop window.

The adjoining dining area is open to the eating bar at the kitchen, and all three rooms combine to create one huge gathering place. A central laundry room off the skylit hall has been designed for maximum convenience. The master suite features sloping ceilings and has a private balcony overlooking the backyard.

The suite includes a garden soaker tub in the ensuite and a large walk-in closet. Two more good-sized bedrooms share a second full bath. The upstairs-living design will take advantage of views from the front to rear of the house.

The sundecks and private balconies optimize outdoor entertaining and enjoyment. The house is 39 feet wide and 45 feet deep with 1,292 square feet and an unfinished basement.
