Just off the entry, a dedicated main floor den offers a private and functional space—ideal for working from home, studying, or managing the day-to-day with ease.
The main level is thoughtfully designed to balance everyday living with elegant entertaining.

The spacious great room is both warm and inviting, centred around a gas fireplace and framed by a wall of windows that flood the space with natural light. Hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas, complemented by durable tile in high-traffic zones, adds both warmth and practicality.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen is designed to bring people together. Featuring granite countertops, an oversized centre island with breakfast bar, quality cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry, it offers both style and functionality. A decorative range hood serves as a focal point, adding character and architectural interest to the space. The kitchen is equipped with a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including a built-in wall oven and microwave, a cooktop, and refrigerator, creating a clean and seamless look. The adjoining eating area is bright and welcoming, with large windows and direct access to the backyard—creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A well-designed mudroom with custom built-in storage and a dedicated main floor laundry area provides everyday convenience, with direct access to the garage—perfect for busy family life.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with four generously sized bedrooms and a truly standout loft-style family room. Featuring vaulted ceilings and a large arched window, this space is filled with natural light and offers exceptional flexibility as a media room, second living area, or home office. The open-to-below design and expansive upper hallway further enhance the sense of volume and connection throughout the second level.
The primary suite serves as a spacious and private retreat, offering generous proportions and a bright, comfortable atmosphere. The spa-inspired ensuite features an updated double vanity with granite countertops, a soaker tub, and a separate glass shower, combining style and functionality. A walk-in closet completes the space, providing ample storage.
