The garden level hosts a guest suite with full bath, plus flexible bonus space perfect for home office and large workshop/storage area. Off-street parking for 2 cars. With natural privacy and access to parks, transit, and top amenities, this home offers rural calm with suburban convenience—an inspired sanctuary designed for comfort, connection and quiet moments.
