This Cape Cod-style charmer, with the master bedroom on the main floor and two secondary bedrooms, a computer room and a games room upstairs, is perfect for an active family. The exterior features a covered veranda that wraps around the bay windows of the master bedroom. Decorative wood posts support the roof overhang.

Horizontal wood siding, dormer windows and wood railings add character to the design. Entry is through a large foyer that features a double-height ceiling, brightened by a window on the upper level. To the right, the foyer is open to a formal dining room.

To the left, a short hallway leads to a powder room and on to the impressive master suite, with its five-piece ensuite bathroom and huge walk-in closet. A sloped ceiling accents the master bedroom’s bayed shape. This interesting room also has a garden door that opens to the veranda and side yard.

The great room and kitchen occupy the back of the house. This bright, informal space can be expanded to the outdoors, thanks to a door in the breakfast nook that opens to a covered patio. The functional U-shaped kitchen has a walk-in pantry cupboard and a greenhouse window over double sinks.

The breakfast nook, cosy enough to enjoy a cup of morning coffee is still large enough to accommodate the family for casual meals. The great room boasts a gas fireplace, which can also be enjoyed while sitting in the breakfast area. Nine-foot ceilings that soar to 11 feet in the great room add to the spacious ambiance.

Stairs to the second level reveal a landing with a computer area. A railing around the landing provides views to the foyer below. Bedroom No.

2 faces the front and includes an appealing window seat. Bedroom No. 3 has a bay window and overlooks the back yard.

A bathroom with two sinks, a bathtub/shower, a linen cupboard and a laundry chute serves these bedrooms. Extra storage is provided in the hall. The multi-purpose games room has a partly sloped ceiling and two windows, making it an attractive playroom, hobby room or fourth bedroom.

The laundry is situated beside the kitchen and has access to the double garage, so it will double as a mud room. This home measures 70 feet wide by 55 feet, 9 inches deep and includes 2,693 square feet of finished living area. The plan includes an unfinished basement.
