This attractive non-basement plan is an ideal design for a couple just starting out, or for a couple whose children have left home and Lvho want to scale down the size of their home. The one-floor plan contains all the features and rooms for comfortable living and offers a generous living space of more than 1,400 square feet. The raised entrance is flanked by stone-accented pillars and the porch is both welcoming and a practical cover for visitors who arrive in the rain.

Inside the foyer, a coat cupboard is conveniently located beside the front door. From the foyer, french doors open to the den, a good-sized room that could be designated for other purposes, if desired. A young couple might want to convert this useful bonus room to a third bedroom, or a mature couple could use the room as a sewing or hobby room.

To the right of the foyer, the formal living room has a gas fireplace for guests to enjoy before or after dinner in the adjoining dining room, which has the advantage of a built-in buffet space. A door from the dining room leads into a good-sized breakfast room and kitchen, which has plenty of countertop space. The eating area is large enough to be used for all day-to-day informal meals and is enhanced by a windowsill.

Steps lead down to the patio, which is sure to be well used for summertime barbecues and backyard entertaining. The two bedrooms also face the back garden. The master suite has a walk-in closet and an en suite bathroom with a shower enclosure.

The second bedroom has an adjoining three-piece bathroom. The laundry room is conveniently located in the hallway outside the bedrooms with a linen cupboard opposite. A broom cupboard in this hallway offers extra storage space.

The double-car garage has a side-door entrance and provides entry into the house through the laundry room. The exterior is finished in wood or vinyl siding with stone accents. The house is 52 feet wide and 40 feet deep with 1,403 square feet of living space.
