The design
Whether you need additional space for family, visiting guests, grown kids or as an extra source of rent, this home’s basement studio is a great feature. The space has been completely and professionally renovated and boasts bright, oversized windows and insulated walls. The quaint kitchenette has a sleek induction cooktop and a built-in fridge for culinary creations. The living room and dining area openly connect from the kitchen in a bright and spacious layout. The bathroom enjoys in-floor heating to add a luxurious, spa-like feel, along with the glass-front shower.
What to love
The basement studio’s bright warmth and open layout continue throughout the main home. The flowing main floor is adorned with spacious skylights that flood the home with warmth and comfort. A bay window in the living room opens up the space to create a sense of spaciousness in the room. The dining room leads off the living room and flows into the sleek and modern kitchen. Countertop spaces run throughout the kitchen creating natural spaces to cook and gather and an additional island seating space. A second living room connects behind the kitchen and leads onto a deck with even more seating for warm days.
Upstairs, the three large and spacious bedrooms await, including the primary bedroom with its own bay window and fitting ensuite. And for gardeners, the backyard is fully equipped to grow a home garden with raised gardening beds and heritage perennials that’ll grow each year.
What to consider
This home is fully outfitted with everything a homeowner may need to host friends or raise a family. It’s close to downtown, local schools, amenities and ample restaurants and cafés.
