The soaring woodburning fireplace creates cozy comfort & ambiance. The flooring throughout the first floor is wide-plank Duchateau Strata Fling engineered oak flooring. The living room in this open floor plan receives great light from the large rear-facing, triple window & glass back door. The Living room is adjacent to the dining room with double-depth closet and completely renovated kitchen with custom cabinets, quartzite counters, glass backsplash, quality appliances and breakfast bar.
