You can enjoy a morning cuppa joe at the island — there's
plenty of seating and lots of space to spread out your
newspaper — or have it to go. A patio door off the dining
area opens onto a rear deck, and another patio door directly
opposite opens into the primary bedroom.
Tip-toe back to the bedroom without passing by the
secondary bedrooms, or have your coffee on the deck on
sunny summer mornings. On winter mornings, you might
want to take it to the great room and cozy up to the
electric fireplace. MacTavish says she loves the simplicity
of the maple-and-tile finishings on the fireplace and
entertainment unit.
Repeated porcelain, tile, glass and maple details tie the
entire space together — the walk-in pantry has a maple-and-
glass door and natural light flows in from three directions.
There's the usual alignment of large windows at the rear
of the house and, along with the horizontal window over
the sink, there's an extra vertical window next to the dining
area. Just off the foyer, the basement staircase has glass
inserts and maple posts and it's topped by a large window
overlooking the street, which is visible from the kitchen. Even
the mudroom off the triple-car garage has a window, which
also overlooks the street and front yard.
