Rustic exterior details give this contemporary rancher a charming cottage look. Solid logs are used for support posts around the front porch and at each side of the double garage. Shingles are used for the cladding under the roof peaks. Even the paneled garage door exudes character. Inside, this three-bedroom rancher boasts a practical floor plan with a bonus: a 398-square-foot games room over the garage. The covered front entry opens to a foyer that leads directly into a multi-purpose great room. This open area living space has a stylish corner gas fireplace and room for either a free-standing or a built-in entertainment unit. The adjacent kitchen has everything the contemporary cook might need, including a raised eating bar, a full complement of modern appliances and a convenient pantry cupboard. While simple meals for one or two people are likely to be served at the eating bar, there is plenty of room in the dining area next to the kitchen for more formal dinners with family and friends. This eating area is flanked by windows on three sides, making it cheerful by day and romantic by night. From the kitchen, a door leads to the double garage, passing the laundry and furnace rooms on the way. A staircase from the foyer climbs to the games room over the garage; this unstructured space could be used as a home office, for storage, or for playing games such as billiards or table tennis. The bedroom wing is located to the right of the main entry. Two smaller bedrooms face the street, while the master bedroom suite overlooks the back yard. The master suite has a walk-in closet, an inset for a television and an elegant corner ensuite bathroom with a soaker tub. Another three-piece bathroom serves the secondary bedrooms. This home is 50 feet wide by 59 feet, 6 inches deep. The finished living area totals 1,610 square feet.
