Facing a peaceful 10acre park, this timeless two storey offers warmth, space & a lifetime of memories waiting to be made. If a peaceful location in a great neighbourhood is important to you, you’ve found it!

The warm, eat-in kitchen has ample cabinet space, quality appliances & is steps to the laundry & powder room. Upstairs there are 5 ... That's right ... 5 bedrooms highlighted by the owners' retreat with large walk-in closet, full ensuite & private access onto the rooftop terrace over the garage (which could easily be converted into an additional 245sqft of living space as an enclosed sunroom or expanded master bedroom). The other 4 bedrooms are all a generous size & share the family bath. Two bedrooms & Jack & Jill-style bath with walk-in shower finish the lower level, along with the huge partially finished rec room & utility/storage room with built-in shelving & wine room. Oversized insulated & finished garage with workbench, overhead storage & shelving + lots of extra space for parking on the extended driveway.

You’ll simply love the 300sqft covered front verandah bathed in Southern light…it's the perfect place to unwind with a coffee or your favourite book, watching the sunsets & seasons pass by. The incredible 96x120ft oversized lot faces a 10acre city park with baseball diamonds & soccer fields, which hosts a wide range of community sports year-round, as well as skating in the winter.
