This three-bedroom home includes plenty of room for casual day-to-day family living, as well as separate living and dining rooms for more formal meals and occasions. The great-room area at the rear of the house encompasses the family room, with a corner fireplace, as well as the kitchen, which has a central work island, and a breakfast room. The breakfast room is spacious enough so that family members can enjoy all their informal meals there, including lunch and dinner.

Easy access to the sundeck offers an invitation to al fresco dining when the weather allows. The living and dining rooms are located at the front of the house and share a three-sided fireplace, guaranteed to suffuse evening gatherings with a cosy warmth. The living room features a sloping ceiling, enhancing the feeling of space, and the dining room enjoys a built-in buffet that will provide extra storage and ease serving formal meals.

In a departure from more conventional lay-outs, this plan places the master suite at the front of the house. A window seat adds charm to the room, as well as providing a spot to relax with a book or a coffee while enjoying the view of the front garden. Bedrooms two and three are separated by their shared three-piece bathroom.

A decorative railing safeguards the stairs down to the basement level. This unfinished area has built-in plumbing and could provide space for an in-law suite or mortgage-helper. A wrap-around veranda, double entrance doors, horizontal siding and board and batten in the gables lend character to the exterior.

The house measures 57 feet, 8 inches wide by 32 feet, 8 inches deep, with 1,486 square feet of living space plus the unfinished basement.
