Nestled on a quiet corner lot, in the highly sought after Fairwood community. This thoughtfully updated home blends timeless character with modern ease. Cozy up to wood-burning fireplaces on both the main and lower levels, or gather in the inviting kitchen with quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, and bar-top seating. The upper-level primary suite offers a walk-in and dual closets, while the spacious lower-level family room opens to a patio and beautifully terraced backyard with TimberTech decking, a shed, and RV parking with 30-amp hookups. Peace of mind with new Hardie siding (2024), H20 heater (2022), A/C + gas furnace (2018), generator hookup, and full sprinkler system. Close proximity to parks, golf course, stores and restaurants.
