Gables make a house a home, and this attractive two-storey, three-bedroom structure is no exception. A covered entry, handy in poor weather, leads into the foyer. To the left is the den, ideally placed for a home office, and just ahead is the U-shaped staircase to the upper floor. To the right and ahead is the coat closet. Upstairs, a vaulted ceiling stretches from the great room making it cozy in the cooler months, thanks to a gas fireplace to the open-plan dining room and kitchen.  Natural light will be plentiful in the dining area, thanks to a window overlooking the side garden. The kitchen features a U-shaped counter configuration that will save steps for a busy cook, as well as a pantry and phone desk, which flank the fridge. A three-seat eating bar separates this room from the dining area. In the sleeping wing, the master suite includes an en-suite with double basins, a soaker tub and a shower stall, as well as a roomy walk-in closet. The secondary bedrooms share a three-piece bathroom, and each boasts its own walk-in closet. These rooms are well-separated for noise by the stairwell, which features a skylight above. The second bedroom overlooks the front garden and enjoys an extra-wide window sill, perfect for lounging with a book. Downstairs, on the ground floor, two more bedrooms have been planned, together with a future secondary suite. The double garage enjoys access to the side garden, as well as to the foyer. On the outside, this home is clad in horizontal siding, with a bay window – complete with window box – in one of the gables. Decorative woodwork and wood shingles ornament the gables, and brick-based pilasters flank the garage’s barn-style doorway. The side entrance to the future secondary suite is protected by a small roof with curved braces. This home measures 39 feet wide and 40 feet deep, for a total of 1,399 square feet on the upper floor. All ceilings on the second floor rise to nine feet, unless otherwise specified.
