Let's begin with the quaint front foyer with coat closet that will welcome all your guests. You will love the completely renovated kitchen with plenty of white shaker cabinetry and tile flooring. The dining room located right off the kitchen is perfect for all your holiday gatherings, some may decide to make this their primary or third bedroom. Enter into the nicely sized living room with hardwood floors, fireplace, and connecting sitting room that can also be utilized as a home office, play room or another third bedroom option if needed. The beautifully renovated full bath completes the main floor. At the top of the stairs step into the large primary bedroom and nicely sized second bedroom. Outside along with enjoying the views of Sylvan Lake, you will enjoy two patio areas, the first right off the kitchen provides tranquility and relaxation as it overlooks the lush lawn, the second around the corner provides a terrific sitting area for morning tea, or an evening glass of wine as you overlook the lake. The basement offers plenty of additional storage space with a walk out to the side yard. Schedule your showing today for November 1st, you will be glad you did.
