About this home

Thoughtfully designed across four levels, this home is anchored by a beautifully renovated, modern kitchen that opens directly to the living and dining areas. The second level features generously sized bedrooms, a bonus office, full bath with laundry, and an oversized primary suite with en-suite bath and private deck. The third level provides a versatile space for a playroom, gym, or media room, along with a second large deck. The finished lower level, with separate entrance and washer/dryer, provides excellent opportunity for multi-generational living, guests, or a recreation area. Well-positioned outdoor spaces, including a fenced-in backyard, complete this offering.
