Combined with a spacious 2,374 sqft living area and a renovated basement, it offers significant room for living and entertaining. The home’s substantial assessed value of $1.34M ranks it in the top 2% of the neighbourhood and highlights its premium market position.

It suits buyers looking for move-in readiness with space to grow, whether for a family seeking a large backyard, someone interested in future landscaping projects, or a buyer who values the equity and stability demonstrated by its strong value history. The attached garage and renovated basement add practical, finished space.
