The open-concept main floor is designed for everyday living and entertaining, with bamboo hardwood floors, thoughtful built-in storage, ample natural light from large, bright windows, crown moulding, built-in speakers, and a convenient powder room. A renovated kitchen (2026), complete with brand new stainless steel appliances, stone counters, subway tile backsplash, and a walkout that makes summer dinners and weekend get-togethers easy. Step outside to your own private backyard, where mature greenery, a landscaped pond, and a covered deck create a peaceful escape from the city. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms share a generous 6pc bath and ultra-convenient second-floor laundry. Downstairs, the finished basement gives you room to adapt as life changes, with a rec room, additional 3pc bath, & separate entrance, ideal for movie nights, a home office, or workout space. A convenient laneway parking space adds everyday convenience. Behind the style are substantial peace of mind updates, including furnace (2026), central air conditioning (2026), interior and front exterior painting (2026), exterior parging (2026), electrical panel (2026), roof (2022), Eco-Energy doors and windows, two additional mini-split heat pump units (2017), and an owned water heater.
