Thoughtfully updated from top to bottom, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers modern finishes, flexible living spaces, and a unique layout designed for comfort and convenience. A significant addition by Transforming Architecture (2024) expanded the home for the modern appeal to include; a large primary bedroom featuring a spacious en-suite bath, walk-in closet, a dedicated bidet toilet and a versatile loft/office. The addition of a large primary bedroom is an exceptional and rare feature for the neighborhood with its own privacy in the home from the other bedrooms. The main level includes all bedrooms, highlighted by two spacious primary suites. Two additional generously sized bedrooms complete the main level. The kitchen stands out with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and abundant cabinetry, perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The lower level offers a flexible space that can be used as a home office, gym, or recreation area to suit your lifestyle needs. Recent upgrades include new windows, a new roof, and new flooring throughout (2023–2024), along with a custom garage door and updated window features. See additional list of upgrades in the disclosures section. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, and major commuter routes, this home combines style, function, and location.
