This simple, non-basement plan has exceptional curb appeal and is ideally designed for those just starting home ownership. The raised, covered entrance offers shelter from the elements and a welcoming introduction to the house. The foyer has a secondary access from the double garage and the laundry room a practical entrance for preventing mud from being tracked through the house.

The large, combined living and dining area provides an excellent backdrop for spectacular furniture arrangements. A gas fireplace is the main focal point of the living room and is sure to be appreciated when entertaining family or friends. A coat cupboard divides the two rooms.

The kitchen adjoins the dining area through a sliding door. With plenty of countertop space and a pantry, the kitchen is well-designed to be appreciated by the cooks in the family. Sliding doors off the breakfast nook open on to the rear patio.

The master suite has a walk-in closet and a three-piece en suite bathroom. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a three-piece bathroom. If not needed as sleeping quarters, bedroom 3 could be made into a den.

The exterior is finished with shingle accents, craftsman pillars and stone trim. The house is 38 feet wide and 53 feet, 10 inches deep with 1,267 square feet of living space.
