Gables make a house a home, and this two-storey, three-bedroom family home – designed for a narrow lot – is no exception.

A covered veranda stretches across the front of the home, with the main entrance, protected by a gables roof, to the left. Directly beyond the foyer is the L-shaped staircase leading to the second floor, with the open-plan great-room complex to the left.

The great room flows into the dining area, and the gas fireplace will cast its warmth throughout the space. The dining room features a bayed out area.

The kitchen includes a roomy walk-in pantry, as well as a prep island. Natural light will flood through the winnow over the double sink, and the L-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook.

A doorway to the covered deck at the back of the home will make both kitchen and dining area convenient for outdoor grilling.

Adjacent to the doorway are the laundry room and a two-piece lavatory.

Upstairs, the master suite overlooks the back garden, for privacy. The roomy en suite includes a soaker tub, for a touch of luxury, as well as a shower stall and double basins. The walk-in closet is adjacent to the ensuite.

A three-piece bath with a tub will serve the secondary bedrooms, both of which look out to the front garden. The occupants will have to draw straws for bedroom No. 3, which is a little larger and features an extra-wide sill in its bay window.

Ceilings on the main floor rise to nine feet.

Exterior finishes include wood shingles in the gable ends, horizontal siding and stucco, together with painted trim. The veranda railings are painted, and wooden pilasters with brick bases mark out the entrance.

This home measures 20 feet wide and 68 feet, eight inches deep, for a total of 1,964 square feet of living space.
