Built by the original owners in 1978, this generously sized home offers incredible space, functionality and one of the standout lots in the area. The home features solid 6-inch exterior walls plus insulation, reflecting the quality construction of the era. A welcoming front veranda adds great curb appeal and provides the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the neighbourhood. The main floor features a large living room, separate dining room, spacious family room with a wood-burning fireplace and direct access to the rear yard, kitchen with eating area, and convenient main-floor laundry. Upstairs offers four generously sized bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with two closets and a private ensuite, plus a separate guest bathroom.

The double-car garage and repaved laneway and side area provide parking for up to 9 vehicles, or 6 vehicles plus a boat and trailer - a rare feature! The home has been well cared for over the years, with several important updates already completed, including a 2012 roof, 2018 furnace, air conditioning and water heater, annual furnace maintenance, copper wiring, and improvements to the garage. The primary bathroom shower enclosure was also replaced in 2026. Conveniently located close to shops, schools and transit, making everyday living easy and accessible. The home remains largely in its original condition, offering an exciting opportunity for the next owner to update & personalize the space to their own taste while enjoying the substantial size and lot this property has to offer. A rare combination of space, lot size and potential awaits!
