The main floor features gorgeous maple hardwood floors throughout, a very warm and inviting living room with tons of natural light, built in window seats with extra storage, built in cabinetry and book shelves and a lovely gas fireplace.

The dining area is bright and sunny with ample space for family functions. Upstairs you will find a large master with vaulted ceilings, his and her walk in closets, updated ensuite bath with quartz counters, double sinks, stand alone shower and jetted tub. The second bedroom is huge (formerly 2 bedrooms which could be converted back) and again with vaulted ceilings and large walk in closet. The updated family bath with quartz counters and large shower is conveniently located right next to it! The renovated laundry room with sink is located on this level as well. The lower level features a large family room with built-ins and gas fireplace, 2 additional generous sized bedrooms, one of which includes the Resource Furniture Murphy bunk beds, an updated full bathroom, and an awesome wine storage area with sink.
