A touch of country charm lends this two-storey, three-bedroom home — designed with family life in mind — instant curb appeal. Beyond the covered entry is a generous foyer with a built-in bench and a planter  set above the coat closet. To the right is a den with a 16-foot ceiling, featuring a window seat. Just beyond a half-wall and archway is the formal dining room, with french doors opening on to the L-shaped veranda. A door offers access to the kitchen for easy serving. The open-plan great room flows into the kitchen and breakfast nook. The great room’s corner fireplace will make it a cosy focal point for family activities during the cooler months. Adding drama to the great room is a partial double-height ceiling. The bayed-out breakfast nook, with a window seat, overlooks a terrace. The kitchen features a U-shaped counter configuration for maximum efficiency, as well as a prep island and a pantry. Off the kitchen is a covered outdoor area, perfect for year-round grilling. The master suite also boasts a window seat. The roomy walk-in closet is accessed through the en suite, which features both a corner shower stall and a soaker tub. Also on the main floor are a storage cupboard, powder room and laundry room, with a built-in bench and a coat cupboard for off-season gear. A door leads to the double garage, big enough for a work bench. Up the L-shaped staircase are the second and third bedrooms, separated by a three-piece bath with a linen cupboard. The third bedroom boasts a walk-in closet. Exterior finishes include board-and-batten siding and wood shingles, as well as painted trim and stone-based pilasters. This 2,361 square foot home, which includes an unfinished basement, measures 48 feet wide, and 58 feet, six inches deep.
