The Layout
The Interior
This is the IDEAL 2 storey split level entry family home with the perfect layout for the buyer to occupy the full home or easily add in a mortgage helper. With over 2,700sqft of living space you could easily suite part of the lower level but still keep some downstairs space for yourself. Step inside the front door and you are greeted with the classic split entry foyer perfect spot to hang the coats and store your shoes. Head upstairs were you are met with the spacious living room with Wood Panel feature wall that leads into the dining room and the meticulously kept brick fireplace that your eyes naturally get drawn towards just adding to the overall vibe of the home.
Off of the dining room is the solarium which acts as an extension of living space, perfect for a reading nook, kids play space, Great space even on rainy days you can listen to the rain hit the solarium windows and gives you that feeling indoor outdoor feeling. Not to mention the solarium is a GREAT space for plants;). Beside the dining room is the spacious kitchen that was updated at some point in the 90’s as it host that classic 90’s kitchen look with solid wood cabinets, tons of counter top space & small eating area.
Head down the hallway where you will find the 4 piece guest bath, Primary bedroom and 2 kids/spare rooms with Avocado green carpets that if they weren’t avocado green you would have a hard time telling their age as they are just another item of this home that has been meticulously kept. The well laid out primary bedroom has his/hers closets and a 2 piece ensuite.
Groove on downstairs, where the charm and character continue with teal colour carpet that will have you second guessing if its new or original….just like the Avocado carpets the only way you can tell the age of the carpet is based off its colour;). The rec room screams of a good time with built in round bar, another well kept brick fireplace and tons of room for activities! Boy if these walls could talk, I’d pull up a chair and listen for hours. The lower level is also home to a secondary family room that could also be used as a 4th bedroom. The back half of the downstairs includes a 3 piece bath, Workshop and laundry room. The downstairs layout is absolutely perfect for family living or take advantage of the space and create a mortgage helper. Easily suite-able with separate entrance, easy access to mechanical, tons of room and still enough space to leave a room for the upstairs occupants. Take a peak at the 3D floorplan to help you imagine what the suite could look like.
Might not be the interior of the home but with 8 Parking spaces on the eco paved driveway including RV parking the attached garage could be used for other purposes. Let’s be honest most people aren’t parking in their garages anymore but instead are using those spaces for Home Gym, Home office, Storage, Kids play area, Workshop theatre room etc.. This Garage space is Perfect for all those options and more! Truly has to be seen in person to appreciate it:)
