This two-story, four-bedroom home combines a charming Edwardian-style exterior with a well-designed interior that incorporates all the modern conveniences desired by today’s families. The covered front porch gives this home curb appeal, and will look especially cosy come summer with a couple of wicker chairs and a few hanging flower baskets. The curved balustrade of the second story porch echoes the decorative woodwork in the gable above. The front door, surrounded by glass panes, opens into a foyer with a coat closet straight ahead. To the left, the living room and dining room form one open space, so the living room’s gas fireplace will make both areas attractive on cool winters evenings. A built-in shelf and buffet in the dining room will provide extra space for storage and serving meals for special occasions. At the back of the home is a spacious family room with a corner fireplace and french doors that open onto the sundeck. The kitchen is divided from the family room by a three-seat eating bar and work island. A pantry fits into the angle made by the efficient L-shaped counter configuration, and a breakfast nook with windows on two sides offers a bright spot for casual meals. The laundry room, with a door onto the side garden, will double as a mud room. Between the two-piece powder room and the laundry room is a triangular display area. A U-shaped staircase leads to the second floor, lit by a bay-window on the landing. The master bedroom, which overlooks the back garden, features a window with an extra-wide sill, as well as a roomy walk-in closet with a built-in shelf. The ensuite includes two basins, to ease the morning rush-hour, as well as a soaker tub with a tiled surround. The three secondary bedrooms share a three-piece bathroom, and the two front bedrooms open on to a covered deck. Ceilings are nine feet throughout. Exterior finishes include horizontal siding with shingle and stone accents and painted woodwork. This home measures 25 feet wide by 55 feet, three inches deep, for a total of 2,107 square feet of living space, in addition to the unfinished basement included in the plans.
