The living room, with its cozy fireplace and TV as the focal point, is an ideal spot to unwind while enjoying views of the front and backyard. This room provides the perfect setting for relaxing with family and friends. The dining room, bathed in natural light, offers breathtaking outdoor views and overlooks the multi-level paver patios, creating an impressive backdrop for entertaining. It's a perfect setting for hosting holidays and special events, with a quartz countertop ideal for buffet-style meals, plus a sitting area or gaming space adjacent to the inviting wood-burning stove.

A tasteful accent wall adds a touch of sophistication, and the private ensuite, updated with today's colors, offers a tranquil retreat. Upstairs, a spacious bedroom currently serves as an office but could easily be a secondary primary suite. Newer doors, a rich color palette, and an updated bathroom create an inviting atmosphere for both family and guests. The craft room provides a fun space for family activities, and could easily be converted into a walk-in closet, completing the secondary primary ensuite.
