About this home
Every once in a while a home completely surprises you with just how much space is waiting inside-and this is definitely one of those homes! And it offers potential for a basement unit too! With its separate entrance, 2nd kitchen and plenty of living space, the lower level can be set up as an in-law suite, a possible mortgage helper, or simply extra room for the whole family to enjoy. Sitting on a 1/4 acre lot, this lovely home is an exciting option for first-time buyers looking for a smart start and multigenerational families wanting to live together. It's also perfect for anyone looking to downsize and have the ease of one-level living without giving up space for family and friends. The main-floor bedroom, bathroom and laundry add to the everyday convenience. And then there's the kitchen! Open to the large, cozy family room with it's gas fireplace, this updated space was made for entertaining. At its centre is an absolutely enormous 14' island (yes, 14 feet!), providing plenty of room for cooking, casual meals, celebrations and everyone who inevitably gathers in the kitchen. Overlooking the large backyard, the entire space feels open, inviting and ready for a crowd. The formal dining room carries the entertaining space beyond the kitchen, this room is also equally perfect as a home office. Just a few steps up brings you to another impressively large room. Anchored by a striking stone gas fireplace, the living room offers another inviting place to entertain friends or to just to settle in for a quiet evening by the fire. The upper level provide two more bedrooms and a 2pc bathroom. Outside, the generously sized lot opens up even more possibilities. Imagine this large backyard as the future home of your workshop and swimming pool and the expansive covered front porch the perfect place for your morning coffee. Close to Highway 403 access. Bigger than it looks-this is one that definitely must be seen!
