Nothing has been sacrificed in this family home, designed for a narrow lot. Within 2,325 square feet of finished living space, the house has four good-sized bedrooms and includes all the features desired by today’s families. Multiple decks, including one that extends across the width of the house, take advantage of a rear view as well as expanding the living space outdoors.

The foyer provides a dramatic entry, taking in an open view of the whole upper floor, as well as the two-story-high living room to the left. The dining room looks out to the rear through sliding glass doors that lead to a covered deck – the ideal extension for entertaining guest before or after dinner. The family area is the popular “great room” – one large, open space for day-to-day living.

It includes an attractive windowed breakfast area, a rear-view family room and a good-sized kitchen. The family room has a central fireplace and access to a covered deck. The kitchen includes a work island with a range-top and a useful pantry.

A den with pocket french doors off the foyer could serve as a home office or children’s computer or study room. Also on the main floor are a powder room off the foyer and a laundry with access through the garage. A partially curved staircase with an open railing leads to four bedrooms upstairs.

The master suite and one other bedroom each have its own private deck and a view to the rear. The master suite has a walk-in closet and an ensuite with a separate his and hers vanity, while the other three bedrooms share the four-piece main bathroom. Included in the design is an optional unfinished basement for future expansion.

This house is 32 feet wide and 65 feet deep with 2,325 square feet of living space and includes and unfinished basement.
