Builder is an innovative new plan that is sure to make a splash with customers . This charming home is in the rapidly growing development of Country Meadows in West Lethbridge .
With its symmetrical lines and neutral siding colour , anyone is sure to appreciate this beauty of a home . Soft grey siding is contrasted with rich dark smartboard trim , and crisp white soffit and downspouts . The variety of colours in the stonework on the home gives dimension to the overall design , and ties in all the tones of the exterior . Clean white shutters on the second-floor windows and carriage lights add traditional style to this home , as do the white garage and front door . Tying it all together is the dark gray shingles , creating an appealing front elevation .
This cozy foyer is packed with features any homeowner can appreciate . A coat closet is adjacent to the front door for easy access , while porcelain tile flooring is an easy to clean , elegant flooring solution . Across from the garage to house door , the entryway wall is perfect for displaying statement art pieces . A practical bench provides a spot to sit and take off shoes .
Just off the foyer , a combination powder room and laundry room is efficient and
centrally located . A stacking washer and dryer offer convenience without sacrificing performance , and wire shelving is a practical solution for linens or cleaning products .
