Definitely designed “outside the box,” this handsome and substantial basement entry family home, with its extensive sundeck and large front windows, boasts a distinctive yet practical lay-out. Almost hidden at the side of the house, the covered main entrance leads into a ground-floor foyer with a spacious coat closet. To the left is a den, which — conforming to the shape of the great room above it — angles outward. The den is ideally located for a home office or studio. Also on the ground floor is a spacious unfinished basement. A three-piece bath has been roughed in, so the den could also function as a guest room. An L-shaped staircase leads to the second floor, where the great room, dining room, kitchen and morning room all flow seamlessly into one another, creating one large space for family activities and entertaining. The staircase area is open to the foyer below, circled by a curved railing. The great room features a vaulted ceiling, and light will flood through its generous windows. A three-sided fireplace separates the great room from the dining room, with an optional buffet. Separated by an eating bar-cum-island, the kitchen also boasts a vaulted ceiling, which extends over the morning room, where floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the front sundeck. The kitchen pantry will provide always-useful storage space, and the L-shaped counter configuration promises efficiency. French doors between the great room and morning room open onto the sundeck, while another door between the kitchen and morning room offers access to a covered deck, the perfect spot for year-round barbecuing. The spacious master suite, overlooking the back garden for privacy, includes a generous walk-in closet as well as an en-suite with a tile-surrounded soaker tub, double basins and a corner shower stall. Nearby, the linen cupboard is located across the corridor from a three-piece bath, also with a double basin, that separates the second and third bedrooms. The laundry room, which includes a broom cupboard, occupies space between the third bedroom and the kitchen. A display area is attached to the corridor side of the broom cupboard. Garage space for three vehicles occupies the area under the sundeck and covered deck, and there is also room for a workshop with a built-in work bench. Exterior finishes include stucco, painted trim, decorative wooden braces at the gables and stone pillars separating the glass around the sundeck. The exterior around the den and entrance is finished in stone. This home measures 49 feet, eight inches wide, by 71 feet deep, for a total of 1,788 square feet.
