But inside, everything is up-to-date, with a layout that will delight the most discerning 21st -century family. The covered entry, a bonus in inclement weather, leads into the foyer. A coat closet is on the left, with a two-piece powder room opposite. Also off the foyer is a den, perfectly situated for use as a home office, since clients will not have to traipse through the house. The den's closet will also allow it to double as a guest room. The great room, located at the back of the home, features a double -height ceiling and a built-in fireplace. Generous windows look onto a covered deck. The dining room, which also overlooks the back garden, features sliding doors that lead to the same deck, the perfect place for all-weather barbecuing. The kitchen boasts a spacious walk-through pantry, as well as an island with a raised eating bar, ideal for casual snacks and meals. The room is open to both the dining and great room, so the cook can keep tabs on family activities. The laundry room enjoys triple access—from the walk-through pantry, the foyer and the double garage. There's enough room in the garage for a third car, a large wood -working project or an indoor play area, as well as a workbench. The second floor, reached via a U-shaped staircase, contains the master suite, with an extra -wide window sill that could serve as a cosy window seat. Beyond the large ensuite, which includes a soaker tub and a shower stall, is a walk-in closet. The second and third bedrooms jut out under dormers, and share a convenient split bath. Bedroom No. 3 features built-in shelves, as well as an extra -wide window sill. Outside, shingle siding enhances the home's curb appeal. Painted trim and pilasters on river -rock bases, partly mullioned windows and a double front door add to its rustic charm, as do the barn -style garage doors.
