Large sidelights on either side of the front door enhance the exterior of this basement-entry design and at the same time brighten the foyer with the maximum amount of natural light. With more than 1,300 square feet of living space, three bedrooms and unfinished basement this would be a good plan for a growing family. The layout makes efficient use of all available floor space and includes an open-plan great-room concept that is so suitable for today’s families. The kitchen includes a pantry and a countertop that incorporates a useful eating bar on the outside. The eating bar will be handy for quick snacks or coffees, while the dining area, with built-in buffet space, is spacious for all the family meals. A door between the dining area and the great room offers access to a large sun deck with stairs down to the back garden. Windows stretch across the width of the family area, flooding the room with natural light. In the sleeping wing, the master suite occupies the rear of the house with a view of the back garden especially enjoyable from a window seat. A three-piece en suite bathroom and a walk-in closet complete the master suite. Bedrooms two and three both have corner windows and share a three-piece bathroom. The basement floor, all ready to accommodate expansion when required, is designed for two bedrooms with roughed-in plumbing for a bathroom. An expansive recreation room has a sliding door that opens to a covered patio. A large walk-in cupboard off the foyer offers plenty of space for coats and for storage. The double garage provides direct entry to the foyer and a second door opens to the front veranda. The house is 40 feet wide and 44 feet, 4 inches deep with 1,304 square feet of living space and unfinished basement.
