This attractive two-storey home, with a glass-fenced covered deck that wraps around part of the  front and side, would be ideal for a growing family, since it includes three bedrooms on the main living floor, plus room for a fourth on the ground floor. The covered entry leads into a foyer with the den, with a cupboard to store the hot-water tank and furnace as well as built-in shelves to the right. On the left is the U-shaped staircase to the main floor, with storage tucked beneath the stairs. Still in the foyer, a coat closet is located opposite to a doorway to the double garage. Upstairs, the great room boasts a vaulted ceiling, plus French doors on to the covered deck and a gas fireplace flanked by windows. The open space in the stairwell is safely surrounded by railings. In the kitchen and dining area, the ceilings rise to nine feet.

These rooms share sliding doors to a patio overlooking the back garden, making outdoor dining an easy choice during the warmer months. The kitchen’s U-shaped counter configuration will save many steps for the cook, and a large pantry will provide extra storage. A three-seat eating bar provides an ideal spot for quick meals and snacks. The master suite overlooks the front garden and includes a spacious walk-in closet and a four-piece en-suite with a soaker tub and a glassed-in shower stall. A bookcase just inside the doorway will provide storage space for bedtime reading. The secondary bedrooms, both looking out to the back garden, share a three-piece bath.

The linen cupboard and laundry room are located near the bedrooms, along with a small storage space. On the ground floor, a fourth bedroom has been planned for future family growth, in addition to a secondary suite. Exterior finishes include horizontal siding, vertical board-and-batten and decorative woodwork in the gables, and stone-based pilasters flanking the entrance. This home measures 48 feet wide and 9 feet deep, for a total of 1,421 square feet. All ceilings rise to nine feet, except where otherwise indicated.
