Nostalgic country details enhance the exterior of this appealing two-storey family The large, open front porch contributes character and adds an inviting touch to the appearance of the home. The privately-placed side entrance is a structurally decorative design that leads into the foyer, where double doors open to the den. The choice of double front doors is an option that would make a dramatic entrance, if desired. The den is a good size and conveniently located by the front door, where it could do double-duty as a home office. Optional french doors opening out to the front porch would make a pleasant addition. Stairs from the foyer lead to the upper-floor living areas, with views above and below. A landing at the top of the stairs is put to good use with a telephone desk work area.

The central hallway includes a coat cupboard, powder room and a laundry room that leads to the side yard and also has a door into the double garage. Additional storage space has been contained under the staircase. Off the foyer is the entrance to the great room, an area that truly lives up to its name. A corner fireplace makes sure that winter evenings will be cosy and french doors open on to a large terrace that is sure to be enjoyed during the summer months.
