This handsome three-bedroom character home, with an optional basement plan, includes an attached, above-ground in-law or student suite with its own entry. The entry to the main house, with its slanted board and batten cover, leads to a compact foyer that opens into the great room. Natural light will flood through the large front window, which features an extra-deep sill, and the gas fireplace will cast its cozy glow all the way to the eating bar, which divides the kitchen from the dining area. The kitchen, with access to a covered patio, includes a roomy pantry. Access to both the double garage and the spacious laundry room are nearby.

The view from the double sinks looks into the dining/great room, so the cook will never feel isolated. Up the U-shaped staircase to the second floor, the master suite includes a soaker tub with a tiled surround and its own window overlooking the back garden. The walk-in closet will provide plenty of room for clothing and accessories. Near the room’s entrance is a linen closet. The two secondary bedrooms share a three-piece bathroom and an adjacent linen closet.

The third bedroom features an extra-deep window sill. The self-contained one-bedroom suite, located above the double garage, is reached by an outdoor flight of stairs at one side. The open-plan living room is situated in the dormer area, with the dining area nearby. The kitchen features a window over the double sink. Coat hooks on the wall opposite the entrance will maximize storage space, as will the built-in shelves in the bathroom.

Next to the three-piece bathroom is a washer and dryer. The home’s exterior includes board-and-batten vertical siding, horizontal siding and brick accents, in addition to partly-mullioned windows and painted trim. The home measures 41 feet wide and 52 feet deep, for a total of 2,233 square feet, including the secondary suite, which is 503 square feet. Ceilings are nine feet high throughout.
