A pair of gables with decorative cross-bracing add to the attraction of this handsome two-storey, three bedroom home.

Entry is through a wide covered veranda into a roomy foyer, with a two-piece powder room and coat closet to the left, opposite the den. The den is ideally placed near the front entrance to accommodate a home office.

To the right of the foyer are staircases to the unfinished basement, included with the plans, and to the second floor.

The great room has two large windows facing the back garden, and access to a large patio is shared with the dining room. A gas fireplace will send its warmth into the open-plan kitchen and dining room.

The kitchen’s U-shaped counter promises to save steps for the cook. Natural light will flood through the window over the sink, and the prep island not only provides more counter space, but includes an eating bar for casual meals.

The single-vehicle garage has access to the lavatory and coat closet near the foyer.

On the second floor, the spacious master suite overlooks the front garden. Adjacent are a three-piece ensuite with a shower stall, as well as a walk-in closet.

The two secondary bedrooms look out to the back garden and share a three-piece bathroom with a tub.

The washer and dryer are enclosed in a cupboard at the top of the stairs, and a storage area is located near the master suite.

Ceilings are nine feet high throughout.

Exterior finishes include horizontal siding with painted trim and brick accents. Wooden pilasters and a railing mark the veranda near the front entrance.

This home measures 34 feet wide and 42 feet deep, for a total of 1,703 square feet, not counting the unfinished basement.
