A classic Garrison Colonial exterior mixed with an updated, flow-oriented layout. The first floor centers around effortless hosting and daily functionality. Guests enter through an elegant dedicated entry hall, complete with an adjacent powder room (lavatory) to keep the main living spaces private.To the left sits a sprawling living room anchored by a sunny front bay window. The floor plan flows naturally into a formal dining room, which connects directly to the kitchen. For casual family time, the kitchen opens directly into a large family room featuring a cozy fireplace. Right off the two-car garage, an optional laundry closet keeps muddy clothes and utility work tucked away from the main living areas.

This classic chalet design represents the quintessential weekend escape or cozy year-round homestead. The defining feature of the facade is a towering, hand-laid stone chimney stack that climbs alongside the covered entryway. A spacious front deck extends the interior living space outdoors, offering an inviting spot to lounge under the open sky. Upon crossing the threshold into the expansive 13'0" x 25'2" living room, you are greeted by the warmth of exposed overhead beams and the crackle of the prominent stone fireplace. The ground level efficiently balances open entertainment space with everyday utility, featuring a dedicated dining area directly adjacent to a compact 12'4" x 8'10" kitchen, a full bathroom, and a private primary bedroom tucked quietly into the back corner. True to its classic architectural blueprint, a set of central stairs rises from the heart of the main floor up to the second story. The upper loft area maximizes every square inch under the steeply pitched roofline, splitting cleanly into two large, private bedrooms—one measuring 13'0" x 16'0" and the other 12'4" x 16'0".

Approaching the property, the home greets you with timeless symmetry, highlighted by its distinctive overhanging second story, twin front-facing bay windows, and an attached two-car garage complete with a charming rooftop cupola and weathervane. Opening the front door reveals a highly organized center entry vestibule. To your left sits an expansive, formal living room anchored by a cozy fireplace. To the right, a dedicated dining room opens up beautifully to the front yard through its large bay window, leading effortlessly into the heart of the home: the kitchen. Positioned right next to the informal family room, this built-in desk allowed the homemaker to manage household budgets, file recipes, or supervise homework while preparing meals. Tucked discretely down the hall from the kitchen is the ultimate convenience: a dedicated first-floor laundry room and a convenient lavatory right by the back exit. Heading upstairs, the second floor maximizes every square inch to accommodate a growing family with four distinct bedrooms. The master bedroom is accompanied by a private, walkthrough dressing room lined with built-in closets that flows seamlessly into an adjacent full bathroom. Three additional well-proportioned bedrooms and a second full hallway bath ensure that everyone has their own space.

 This elegant design perfectly marries traditional charm with the evolving, practical needs of modern suburban families. Featuring a classic gambrel roofline reminiscent of a Dutch Colonial, this layout offers a masterclass in space optimization and modern aesthetics.

Stepping past the inviting front door, you are greeted by a classic center hall entry (vestibule), a hallmark of stately traditional design. To the right, a massive 13' x 25'-2" Living Room spans the entire depth of the main house. Complete with a prominent central fireplace, this space was envisioned as the ultimate center for family gatherings. A spacious 19'-8" x 9'-6" kitchen complete with an integrated desk area—perfect for managing household schedules or planning recipes. It flows seamlessly into a dedicated dining area overlooking the backyard. Across from the kitchen sits a versatile 10' x 12' space designated as an optional first-floor bedroom or formal dining room, adapting easily to a growing family's lifestyle. Tucked discreetly near the side entrance is a modern first-floor laundry room and a convenient lavatory (half bath), keeping messy chores entirely separate from the main living areas.

Ascending the central staircase brings you to a beautifully balanced sanctuary on the second floor. Two expansive bedrooms measuring 11' x 19' and 13' x 19', each flanked by ample closet space. A centrally located, full family bathroom accessible directly from the main hallway.

. It is long, low, and perfectly balanced. The architectural style blends the clean, horizontal lines of the Ranch style with a subtle split-gable roofline that adds vertical texture to the siding. The central foyer acts as the home's traffic cop. It provides immediate access to the formal living room on your right, the family area straight ahead, or the bedroom hallway to the left. No one has to cut through the formal living room just to get to a bedroom, keeping the home's quiet areas truly peaceful. Positioned perfectly between the formal dining room and the casual family area, the kitchen is a dream. The "U-shaped" design keeps the stove, sink, and refrigerator within arm's reach—minimizing steps while maximizing counter space. Following the central hallway to the left wing of the house reveals three spacious bedrooms, each designed with privacy in mind. The main bathroom is smartly split: a dedicated washroom with a sink/commode is accessible next to a separate tub-and-sink room.
