the front of the home is ready for big meals with family and friends. The back half of the main floor is completely open, with huge windows all across to bring in tons of beautiful natural light. In the kitchen, natural wood cabinetry is striking, paired with dark granite and appliances. An eat-up island centres the space, and a full pantry is a coveted element.

Down the hall, the primary bedroom is expansive, with numerous windows overlooking a private yard. The ensuite includes dual walk-in closets and dual sinks. A glassed-in shower is also made for two, with twin benches and shower heads. A separate soaker tub is ideal for a relaxing wind-down, illuminated by a glass block window. A second bedroom and another full bathroom on this floor add flexibility for families, guests, or home office uses. The entry from the oversized, double-attached garage also holds a laundry area complete with storage and a utility sink to finish this level. Soaring ceilings and huge windows in the stairwell are a rare and gorgeous feature heading to a lower level, and the finished basement is another fantastic space. Plentiful windows bring in more light than usual, and a second gas fireplace is the focal point of the family room, which offers plenty of floorspace for a play area, games tables, or exercise equipment as well as your home theatre. There are two more bedrooms here, each with a walk-in closet, and a third full bathroom ma kes this level great for older children or overnight guests. A utility room offers convenient extra storage space. Outside, step down into a private oasis where mature trees and garden beds edge the lawn and a patio is the perfect place for outdoor enjoyment.
