All houses should have a downstairs bedroom suite for those who would
like to remain in residence when older.
This house is designed to add such a suite at a future date. The
connection to this future additon is a greenhouse/ laundry (which
is also the rear entrance to the house). Connection to the future
addition is made by removing (and reusing) the west window and replacing
it with an interior door.
Plans are available for a detached garage.
