Simply perfect. This lovingly cared for Century Home features the best of everything.

Incredible value for 3 truly spacious levels, 4 bedrooms and 2 separate basements (one of which makes for an ideal TV room, games room or child’s play area.)
The superbly renovated kitchen is the heart of the home, steps from a formal dining room and classic living room, plus an additional raised family room with walk-out to the private back yard and deck.
There are two full bathrooms on the second floor, including a perfect ensuite within the sprawling master bedroom.
Just outside you’ll treasure the covered front porch, landscaped gardens with pond and a bonus 2-storey cabin for your quiet meditation room or dream-come-true child’s play house.
