From the dining area, a staircase leads down to the basement level, which offers a bright and versatile space. Currently used as a home office and an additional sitting area, it can easily serve as a children’s playroom, guest suite, or media room.
Light-Filled Living Room with Fireplace
On the first floor you will find the impressive living room at the front of the house. Four full-height windows open onto a balcony that spans the width of the property. The abundance of natural light and the possibility to fully open the windows create a unique sense of openness—almost like being outside.
A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and charm, making this an inviting place to relax or entertain.
At the rear of this floor lies the spacious primary bedroom suite, complete with a generous walk-in closet and a luxurious bathroom featuring a double sink, walk-in shower, and toilet. A private retreat within the home.
