Some homes give you the basics. This one has had the thoughtful extras added that make everyday life easier. Built in 2016 and carefully maintained, the bright main floor has updated vinyl plank flooring and an open layout that connects the living room, fireplace, kitchen and dining area. The oversized island gives everyone a place to gather, whether it is breakfast before school, friends over for dinner or a quiet evening at home. Downstairs adds something especially valuable: a non-conforming suite with its own kitchen, living area, bedroom and bath. Use it for extended family, a nanny, longer-term guests or as an opportunity to generate additional income. Outside, the space has been designed for living rather than constant upkeep. Start the morning on the covered front porch, move dinner outside to the deck, settle into the separate concrete patio seating area, then finish the evening in the included hot tub. Garden boxes still leave room for vegetables, herbs or flowers without taking on a yard full of maintenance. The insulated and drywalled garage can easily be heated with an electric heater, while corner access onto the paved alley makes coming and going especially convenient. Solar panels add another practical layer to the home and can help keep electricity costs lower. And the location makes everyday life just as easy. You are close to Costco and a wide range of shopping and services, with a neighbourhood elementary school, plenty of greenspace, walking paths and dog parks nearby. Flexible living space, multiple outdoor areas, solar, hot tub, an upgraded garage and a home that has been genuinely well cared for — a lot of the work has already been done. You simply get to enjoy it. (id:60457)
