This traditional two-storey plan, designed for a narrow lot, contains 2,445 square feet of living space as well as an unfinished basement. A raised stone archway highlights the covered entry, which leads into a two-storey-high foyer. The living room shares the dramatic impact of the double-height ceiling; a large front window and flanking side windows flood the room with natural light.

A gas fireplace adds a cosy focus to the room on darker winter days. Decorative pillars grace the entrance to the adjoining room. The spacious family area includes a large kitchen with a central work island and a pantry.

A window over the sink overlooks the sundeck to the back yard. The boxed-out breakfast area also has a rear view, while the family room has a gas fireplace and opens to the sundeck through french doors. A good-sized laundry room has access from the double garage.

A central powder room completes the main floor plan. Upstairs, the master suite takes in the back garden view, which also may be enjoyed from the sitting area. The five-piece en suite includes a double vanity, soaker tub and separate shower.

The three other bedrooms share the main bathroom which has a linen cupboard for extra storage space. The unfinished daylight basement offers plenty of options for use as a recreation area or for expansion with extra rooms if needed. Concrete tile, stone, and board and batten finishing give the exterior of the house a simple yet dramatic style.
