An open-plan living concept and contemporary features make this the ideal home for a busy family, with plenty of room for work and play. Windows beside and above the front door bathe the two-storey foyer with plenty of natural light. This entrance area greets visitors with a display shelf to the left and an interesting angled staircase to the secondary bedrooms upstairs. The master suite is placed on the main floor, with a large, square bedroom area that has a sloping ceiling and a four-piece en-suite bathroom with a linen cupboard. A walk-in closet with shelves is just outside the bedroom, neatly separated from the rest of the suite. The main part of the ground floor is occupied by a splendid great-room complex, which will provide the family with every feature needed for day-to-day living activities. The sunken great room itself is designed with a coffered ceiling and a gas fireplace with an entertainment unit alongside. A french door opens to a huge patio with steps down to the garden on all three sides. The patio is sure to be a magnet for outdoor meals and barbecues during the summer months. A step up from the great room leads to the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen has an extra-Iong central island with a cooktop and a breakfast bar for those quick snacks or coffees. Plenty of countertop space is provided, along with a walk-in pantry for storage of canned and dry goods. The dining room, enhanced by a sloping ceiling, also offers access to the patio. A sitting area with a built-in bench fits nicely into a space beneath a window overlooking the patio. The laundry room has direct access to and from the double garage and includes coat hooks and a bench useful for removing muddy boots. A den off the foyer is suitably placed to be used as a home office, if desired. A two-piece powder room and coat cupboard complete the layout of the main floor . Upstairs, an optional computer room has a railing overlooking the foyer below. The two secondary bedrooms share the main bathroom, which has a double vanity and a linen cupboard. A skylight brightens both the bathroom and the hallway. The exterior is finished in horizontal siding with board and batten in the peaks and shake features. A front porch provides a welcoming detail. The house is 65 feet, 5 inches wide and 58 feet deep with 2,410 square feet of living space and an unfinished basement.
