Designed especially for a narrow lot, the plans for this two-storey, three-bedroom family home include just about every feature the discerning home-owner craves. The front door, a few steps beyond a small trellis-covered patio, leads into a roomy foyer. Storage space is tucked under the stairs to the second floor, and a capacious coat closet is on the left. Opposite is the kitchen, which features a large pantry and an efficient L-shaped counter configuration. A raised eating bar, ideal for casual meals and snacks, forms part of the work island. The open-plan kitchen flows into the dining room and beyond to the great room, which boasts a double-height ceiling and french doors to a patio overlooking the back garden. Adjacent is a den with generous windows for lots of natural light, and next to it is the laundry room. A powder room is separated from the foyer by an archway for privacy. The small space adjoining the powder room might be fitted with a vanity or storage cupboards. Upstairs, the master suite is located at the front of the house, with french doors opening on to a private sundeck. As well as a soaker tub, double vanity and shower stall, the ensuite boasts a handy towel cupboard. The walk-in closet will be roomy enough for the most fashion-conscious couple’s apparel. The two secondary bedrooms — one with a built-in desk — share a bathroom. Adjacent is a loft area with a railing that overlooks the great room below. The loft could provide space for a home office or serve as a music room or arts studio. The exterior is clad in wood siding, with shingled gables, painted trim and cut stone accents. The home measures 27 feet, four inches wide and 59 feet deep, totalling 1,952 square feet of living space.
