Main foyer looking into breakfast nook |
When you come into the front door, you immediately enter the ceramic-tiled main foyer. French doors leading into the oak-floored living room are to your right. The stairs leading upstairs are to your left, with a one-step landing at the foot of the stairs. The bannister, spindles, and stairs are all of oak, with wainscotting along the side of the staircase. The foyer passes a good-sized hall closet, then ends in another French door, which opens into the breakfast nook.
From the breakfast nook, the house opens in four directions.
Turning right takes you into the kitchen, and then into the oak-floored dining room. The dining room also has a second opening, a large open doorway which connects back with the living room. Thus the entire right side of the house consists of three rooms which flow into each other and back again through the living room to the main foyer. (Yes, the living room is very big!)
The den area - 13' x 18' ! |
A second branch from the same hallway leads towards the back of the house. This passes a washroom on your left side to lead into the main floor laundry room / mudroom with its own access to the
back porch. The breakfast nook also opens onto the back porch with a large sliding door.
The front side of the breakfast nook, right next to the French door, opens into the finished basement.
Staircase to upstairs hall |
The stairs open into a hall leading right. All of the upstairs area is overtop of the breakfast nook, kitchen, dining room, and living room.
Queen-sized bed in the smallest bedroom |
The smallest bedroom is also the closest. It is 10'8" x 11', not counting the very large, deep closet that extends out over the stairwell. It is not -- quite -- a walk-in, but it is the next closest thing.
The master bedroom Left door leads to the walk-in closet. Right door leads to the ensuite. Second window is behind the photographer |
Main upstairs bathroom |
Basement
The entire footprint of the house, except only the garage, has been turned into a surprisingly large basement. The wall layout roughly matches the layout above, with the foot of the basement stair corresponding with the stair landing heading up. The utility room and workshop are underneath the family room. There is also a washroom, and not one but two cold rooms (one each under the front and back porch).
