Ready for immediate move-in, this property invites you to enjoy sunny afternoons among perennial garden beds or relax in the shade of mature trees. The private, fully fenced backyard is beautifully landscaped and features a gazebo, a deck with natural gas hook-up, and convenient sliding doors leading directly from the kitchen. (The backyard photo shows a lush, level lawn, stone-edged planting beds, a small stone pathway and a sheltered gazebo area that creates a true garden oasis.) A two-storey addition completed in 1995 enhances the home's spacious layout. The main level boasts pristine hardwood floors, a 3-piece bathroom, and an expansive eat-in kitchen ideal for entertaining. (The kitchen is bright and updated with light wood cabinetry, granite counters, a tiled backsplash, stainless appliances and a windowed sink overlooking the yard; the adjacent breakfast area features a chandelier and glass doors that bring the gardens right into the dining space.) Notable details include French pocket doors with beveled glass connecting the kitchen and family room, and a gas fireplace with an elegant hardwood mantel as the living room centrepiece. (The living room shows classic trim and crown moulding, abundant natural light and glass doors that open to the deck.) Upstairs, the principal suite includes a walk-in closet, jacuzzi tub, and serene views of the backyard, complemented by two additional bedrooms - one oversized with a double walk-in closet, and another suited for a guest room or home office. (The upper-level rooms are bright with dormer-style windows and sloped ceilings that create cozy, well-lit spaces perfect for a home office or sitting area.) At the front, a circular driveway framed by mature evergreens and perennial beds provides ample parking. (A detached garage with matching exterior siding is visible from the driveway, providing extra storage and parking.) The property opens to a generous garden oasis, offering a peaceful, tree-lined retreat filled with visiting wildlife. Recent updates include a high-efficiency furnace (March 2025), dishwasher (February 2025), and a roof replacement in 2020. Additional features include a heated rear driveway, detached garage, and a sprinkler system for those garden enthusiasts.
