Property offers spacious living with 4 bedrooms & 4 bathrooms; one ensuite in the basement, a primary with spa bathroom on the main floor & 2 bedrooms upstairs with full updated bath and unique ceiling vaults. Flex rooms in the home include a work-shop/gym/office. Oversized windows throughout showcase the park-like yard & scenic streets below... and of course a heated indoor pool for the ultimate year-round indulgences. Everyday feels like you are on holiday here. Other notable bits: brand new HVAC system, reverse osmosis added, updated/resurfaced pool (including complete drain system to code/heater/light) & a Flo Logic system provides intelligent water leak control. If a leak is detected anywhere inside, the system automatically shuts down water. A whole home 22 kw Generic generator has been installed to run all your house needs in a pinch (including AC).
