In this charming family home, which features a boat bay for those fortunate enough to own a pleasure craft, the garage entrance turns away from the street to present an awning’d window to passers-by. The design of the rest of the house reflects this thoughtfulness, from the lofty ceiling in the great room to the butler’s pantry off the kitchen and the vaulted ceiling in the den. A covered entry leads into an L-shaped double-height foyer, with a roomy walk-in closet to the left and a den to the right, ideally placed for a home office. Opposite the open stairway is a powder room, handy for visitors and family alike. Visible from the foyer through an archway is the great room, with its double-height ceiling. The corner fireplace will radiate a welcome to family and visitors alike. This room is separated from the nook and kitchen only by a row of columns, creating a unified space that will not only simplify entertaining, but will enable family members to pursue their individual interests without feeling isolated. The spacious kitchen features a prep island and an L-shaped counter configuration for efficiency. The window over the sink looks out to a covered patio, accessible from the nook for easy al fresco meals. A walk-in pantry provides extra storage, and a butler’s pantry will hold items not for everyday use, such as special-occasion glasses and china. The laundry room, off the kitchen, includes a coat closet and a storage cupboard, and has access to the boat bay and double garage, with its deep-silled window. The master suite boasts a bay window overlooking the back garden, and includes a walk-in closet. The ensuite features a shower stall as well as a soaker tub with a tiled surround, and includes a linen closet. Upstairs, the second and third bedrooms tucked under the gables each enjoy an ensuite bathroom, an unusual touch of luxury. Both bedrooms also include a walk-in closet and linen cupboard. Exterior finishes include cut stone and vertical siding, with decorative archways over the front entry and den windows. A small oval vent adds interest to the garage’s façade.This home measures 83 feet wide and 44 feet, four inches deep, for a total of 2,685 square feet of living space.
