This charming three-bedroom, two storey family home has plenty of character.

Entry is through a covered porch with a sloped ceiling, and past a veranda. Once in the foyer, a coat closet is to the left, and ahead and to the right is the great-room complex.

Large windows look out to the veranda from the great room, where the gas fireplace will cast its warmth as far as the open-plan dining area and kitchen.

The dining area’s window looks out to the side garden, and is separated from the kitchen by a two-level prep island.

The window over the double sink will let in lots of natural light. The L-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook. A pantry and built-in wine bar will be most welcome.

The kitchen door opens to a patio, with steps down to the back garden. A small portion of the patio, near the door, is covered – the ideal spot for year-round grilling.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a laundry room that doubles as a mud room. Along one side of the laundry room is a built-in bench with cubbies above.

Near the L-shaped staircase to the second floor is a two-piece lavatory, with a linen closet just outside it.

On the second floor, the master suite occupies a dormer area. The ensuite includes an oval soaker tub, as well as a shower stall. Double basins will ease the morning rush hour.

The walk-in closet will accommodate a couple’s clothing and accessories, and includes a built-in shelf.

The second bedroom looks out to the front garden, and has a roomy walk-in closet, with built-in shoe storage.

The third bedroom, looking out to the back garden, is adjacent to a three-piece bath with a tub, to be shared with the second bedroom.

As well as access to the laundry room, the double garage has two windows and a doorway to the back garden.

Exterior finishes include horizontal siding, wooden pilasters with brick bases and painted trim.

Decorative braces enliven the exterior of the dormers.

This home measures 50 feet, six inches wide and 43 feet deep, for a total of 1,848 square feet.
