Inside, the bright main floor offers three generous bedrooms, an updated full bathroom with a walk-in shower & front facing living room with ample natural light. The beautifully updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, large island, a farmhouse sink overlooking the backyard & an addition that creates a spacious dining area, a rare feature for homes in this neighbourhood. Complete with a cozy gas fireplace & patio doors leading to the covered gazebo, this space is ideal for everyday living & entertaining. Your very own private backyard oasis, surrounded by mature trees, an in-ground pool, covered gazebo & a pool bar with a metal roof & power. The finished lower level provides additional living space, a second updated full bathroom, potential for a fourth bedroom by just adding an egress window and a separate laundry room complete with newer flooring, a laundry sink and ample storage. Meticulously maintained over the years, the home offers numerous significant improvements, including a steel roof, updated windows, sprinkler irrigation system, freshly painted throughout, kitchen & bathrooms, with many of the major expenses already taken care of.
