The eat-in kitchen looks out to the serene, private backyard and forest beyond, creating a beautiful backdrop for everyday meals, slow Sunday mornings, and family dinners at home. Downstairs, the large recreation room is ready for movie nights, kids’ play dates, sleepovers, or a separate hangout space as your family grows. Outside, the fenced backyard gives kids and dogs a safe place to play, while the private deck is made for summer BBQs, morning coffee, and relaxed evenings surrounded by nature. Mature trees and no neighbours behind add to the sense of privacy, while the trail sits far enough back that you can enjoy the setting without feeling exposed.
