A welcoming front porch, flanked by stone-based pilasters with decorative capitals, and a front door with a centre window, give this three bedroom family home extra curb appeal. In addition, at just 27 feet wide, it is suitable for a narrow lot. The entry leads directly into the living room, where the gas fireplace will be an attraction during the cooler months.

Through an archway is the dining area, with a coat closet to the left, as well as access to the single-vehicle garage. The kitchen is separated from the dining area by a two- seat eating bar and prep island. The L-shaped counter configuration will be appreciated by the cook, as will the window over the double sink.

A pantry, always welcome for extra storage space, is tucked in between the kitchen and the two-piece powder room. A covered deck enjoys access from the kitchen, making it ideal for al fresco dining in summer time. A smaller sundeck adjoins, with a doorway from the laundry room.

A U-shaped staircase leads to the second floor sleeping area. A handy computer desk is located on the landing. The master suite, reached through french doors, overlooks the back garden for privacy.

The spacious ensuite includes double sinks, as well as a soaker tub with a tiled surround and a shower stall. A walk-in closet completes the lay-out, and a linen cupboard is located by the doorway, together with a triangular display cabinet. The two secondary bedrooms overlook the front garden.

The larger of the two had a built-in desk, as well as an extra-wide window sill. Exterior finishes include horizontal siding, with wood shingle accents and painted trim. All ceilings rise to nine feet, and the home measures 27 feet wide and 55 feet, two inches deep.
