Picture-perfect curb appeal and a stellar location might make you fall in love with this Douglasdale gem at first sight. Inside, vaulted ceilings set a bright and airy tone, and updated hardwood adds a simple elegance to the original elements. Big bay windows flood the living room with natural light, and the open space flows up into the dining area in a classic layout perfect for entertaining. In the kitchen, stainless appliances are a modern upgrade, while oak cabinetry is solid and timeless. The window over the sink brings in tons of light from the south, and the peninsula forms an eating bar overlooking the breakfast nook, where sliding glass doors step out to the deck, making outdoor grilling a breeze in the warm months. A sunken family room showcases a stunning fireplace with a lovely original brick hearth and floor-to-ceiling built-ins. Big windows frame backyard views, enhancing the cozy aesthetic. This level also holds a bedroom and powder room off the hall in a fantastic floor plan for a home office or guest retreat. This is also where you will find the laundry room, which includes a utility sink, conveniently next to the entrance from the oversized ( 23'.4 x 21'.3 ) attached garage. Throughout the main floor closet storage is plentiful for supplies and outerwear. Upstairs, an expansive primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a huge ensuite, where a soaker tub takes centre-stage, set between dual vanities and next to a separate glassed-in shower. There are two more large bedrooms on this storey and they share the main bathroom, which is well-appointed and features stylish tile work. Outside, the tiered back deck is huge, with space for all your activities. Gorgeous landscaping and mature trees edge the lawn to create a lovely private oasis when everything is in full foliage, and raised planters are ready for the family green thumb. Other upgrades include: Furnace 2009, Water Softener 2019, hot tank in 2021, underground irrigation and rubber roofing sy stem in 2018 (w/transferable lifetime warranty).
