An L-shaped plan that turns the garage entrance away from the roadway makes this three-bedroom family home particularly street-friendly, while decorative woodwork, shingled gables, stone-based pilasters and mullioned windows lend the exterior a touch of arts-and-crafts charm. Entry is up two steps to a covered porch, protection for family and guests alike in inclement weather. The front door opens into a high-ceilinged foyer. The den, through double doors on the left, is ideally situated to double as a home office, and features a window with an extra-wide sill and built-in shelves. To the right of the foyer is a coat closet. Directly ahead, through an archway flanked by pillars, is the great room/dining room/kitchen. The great room features built-in shelves and a gas fireplace with windows on each side. The dining room occupies a bayed-out area. A doorway leads to a covered patio, making year-round barbecuing a breeze. A window, with an extra-deep sill, looks out to a terrace and beyond that, the back garden. The kitchen, at the heart of the home, is separated from the great room by a raised eating bar. Windows over the sink look out onto a covered area and the terrace. The U-shaped counter configuration ensures efficiency and the large pantry in one corner offers plenty of storage. The laundry room includes a roomy coat closet, and the linen cupboard is located nearby. In the master suite, located at the back of the home for privacy, a two-way fireplace will warm not only the bedroom and the ensuite, but will also provide a lively glow for whoever is lounging in the soaker tub, which features a tiled surround. A walk-in closet will provide ample room for even the most fashion-conscious couple’s clothing, and the window boasts an extra deep sill. The second and third bedrooms share a three-piece bathroom. The third bedroom has a built-in desk. The double garage features a motorcycle bay, and a bonus room with sloping ceilings is situated over it. This room could serve as an entertainment room for teens and their friends, a peaceful study or a fitness studio. This home measures 56 feet wide and 74 feet deep, for a total of 2,460 of living space.
