With 1,444 square feet, it is an excellent starter home with three bedrooms and two full baths, all on one level.

The dining area is at the rear of the home. French doors provide access to the backyard, off the covered patio. This is handy for those Sunday barbecues or afternoon picnics with the kids. The "L"-shaped kitchen contains a pantry in the middle of the room, with a set of double doors for easy access. The center skylight brightens the kitchen with natural light. There is an eating bar for those rushed breakfasts or late-night snacks.

To the right of the dining area is the master suite. The main part of the suite is vaulted with a long wall closet.

The bathroom contains an oversized tub, his and her sinks and a linen closet. A pocket door separates the bathroom from the master suite.

The other two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the home, next to the utility room and the main bathroom. Both of the bedrooms contain wall closets with a linen closet between them. The bathroom has a large shower and a skylight. The utility room has a regular storage closet, along with a linen cabinet. There is room for either a second refrigerator or a freezer. Natural lighting is supplied to this room with a light tube. The utility opens into the garage, allowing easy access to the kitchen to unload groceries.

Overall, the Cranberry 2 makes a comfortable home with great lighting. The home has potential to be enlarged in order to accommodate the family as it expands.
