ROOTED IN WARMTH
The side-split layout offers a level of flexibility and separation that modern families truly appreciate. The bright main living room serves as an inviting gathering place for guests, while the lower family room provides a comfortable setting for casual evenings and everyday life. Rich oak hardwood flooring runs throughout the home, adding warmth and continuity to each level. Built-in surround sound enhances the experience whether you're entertaining, listening to music throughout the home, or simply relaxing after a long day. The overall layout strikes an ideal balance between open-concept living and the privacy that comes from having distinct spaces for different activities.
The home offers three wellproportioned bedrooms designed with comfort and functionality in mind. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, highlighted by a beautifully renovated ensuite completed in 2025. Marble tile and countertops, contemporary fixtures, and motorized window coverings create a sophisticated, spa-inspired atmosphere that elevates the everyday routine. The additional bedrooms provide ample space for family, guests, or a dedicated home office, making the home equally appealing for growing families or professionals looking for flexibility.
EXPANDED LIVING SPACE
The lower levels significantly expand the home's living space and offer exceptional versatility. A spacious family room provides the perfect environment for children to play, teenagers to gather, or adults to unwind in a more relaxed setting away from the main floor. Beyond that, the dedicated theatre room creates a true entertainment destination, complete with built-in surround sound that delivers an immersive experience for movie nights, sporting events, or gaming. These separate spaces allow multiple activities to happen simultaneously, making the home especially well suited for modern family life.
The backyard is undoubtedly one of the property's defining features, offering a private resort-like setting rarely found in the city. Centered around a professionally maintained saltwater inground pool and hot tub, the outdoor space has been carefully designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A covered outdoor living area extends the season and provides a comfortable place to gather regardless of the weather, while the fully equipped outdoor kitchen makes hosting effortless. Mature landscaping, landscape lighting, a full irrigation system, and a complete wooden privacy fence create a peaceful and secluded atmosphere. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee, hosting a summer barbecue, or spending the day poolside with family and friends, this backyard delivers an exceptional lifestyle experience.
