Plenty of living space is packed into this compact two-storey plan, making it ideal for a family with growing children. The main-floor foyer opens directly to the adjacent living room, which features a sloping ceiling, large round-top windows and a gas fireplace. The adjoining dining room is raised slightly from the living room windows at the front of the house. A french door in the dining room opens to the large family area – three rooms in one that provide a relaxed space with all the elements for a family’s day-to-day informal living. The kitchen has windows over the sink, a pantry and lots of counter space. The eating area and the family room share a two-sided fireplace. Sliding glass doors lead out to an expansive sundeck. The rear-view main-floor den also has sliding-door access to the sundeck. The den could be used as a bedroom, if desired. A good-sized laundry room has access from the double garage and space for a deep freeze. A central powder room tucked into the corner of the stair area completes the main floor. Upstairs, three secondary bedrooms share a three-piece main bathroom as well as a central two-piece powder room – the perfect answer for teenagers who require plenty of bathroom time. A simple framing change with the doorways, however, could turn the powder room into an ensuite bathroom for bedroom No. 4, if desired. The master suite is privately situated on the other side of the house and overlooks the back garden. Simple rooflines and a stucco finish make this an affordable home in the 2,3500-plus square foot range. The house is 40 feet wide and 48 feet, 6 inches deep and includes an unfinished basement.
