A contemporary exterior with Victorian touches gives this three-bedroom family home instant curb appeal. This is a house that would fit comfortably into any neighborhood. Staggered roof lines with board and batten in the peaks, fish- scale shakes, a stone facade around the garage and a raised porch all add to a feeling of welcome. Through the covered porch, the two-storey foyer is bright with the natural light that comes through the sidelights around the front door. The parlor, to the right, is sure to be a hit with visitors and family, with its large bay window and almost-1O-foot ceiling height. Connecting to the parlor is the dining room, which has a useful built-in buffet space. A sliding pocket door separates the kitchen and family area at the rear of the house – this large, informal area offers plenty of space to accommodate all day-to-day activities and meals. The kitchen has plenty of countertops to help in the preparation of meals and a central work island with an eating bar will be useful for quick snacks or coffees. A pantry takes care of storage of canned and dry goods. A delightful bay window lifts the breakfast room out of the ordinary and give~ this much-used area lots of natural light. The family room has a corner gas fireplace to make sure there is a cosy focus during the winter. Steps lead down to the patio, where the family will be able to enjoy outdoor barbecues. The laundry room is neatly tucked in between the family area and the garage. Family members may have to vote on use of the study just off the foyer, which could be considered a bonus room, to function as a den, office, reading, homework or hobby room, or maybe an all-purpose room that’s used for several different activities. A two-piece powder room and a coat cupboard complete the main floor layout. Upstairs, the master suite is a true retreat. The bedroom is a large, square space that will make it easy to arrange the furniture, with a charming bench seat in the bayed window. The spacious en suite bathroom includes a double vanity, soaker tub, freestanding shower and a cupboard for towels and linens. A walk-in closet has ample room for clothes and shoes. Bedrooms two and three share the main, three-piece bathroom. In the central hallway, a railing overlooks the foyer below. The house is 45 feet, 4 inches wide and 38 feet, 4 inches deep with 2,062 square feet of living space and an unfinished basement.
