About this home
1,600 sq. ft. ABOVE GRADE, PLUS a finished basement, over $300,000 in renovations, and absolutely no shortage of personality! This extensively renovated 2.5-storey detached home is anything but ordinary, offering 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and surprises at every turn. Step inside to warm wood floors, a beautiful coffered living room ceiling and a generous custom kitchen featuring a stunning onyx backsplash and a chalkboard wall. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a gorgeous 5-piece bathroom with double sinks and a custom shower are just the beginning. The real showstopper? An entire third floor dedicated to a spectacular, sun-filled loft-style primary retreat! The primary features three windows, loads of space and endless possibilities for a sitting area, dressing room or home office. And there's more! The newly finished basement (2026) adds even more living space, complete with a fabulous clawfoot tub. Outside, the gardens are lush and the side yard is made for entertaining, with a stamped concrete patio and a lovely pergola. All the fun of outdoor living without spending your weekends mowing the lawn! And just when you think you've seen it all, there's a charming little "General Store" shed, complete with its own electrical panel. Behind the personality are serious upgrades: electrical, plumbing and pot lights (2019), flooring and front porch (2026), plus a durable metal roof. Big on space, big on style and refreshingly low on maintenance. Just move in and enjoy!
