The main floor offers two generous bedroom suites with private ensuites, including a serene primary retreat featuring a spa-inspired bath with glass shower, dual vanities, and a walk-in closet, plus a spacious office and beautifully finished powder room.The fully finished lower level delivers exceptional versatility with a second laundry, home gym, two additional bedrooms, multiple full bathrooms (including an ensuite), and a sprawling recreation space designed for a home theatre and games area. A double garage connects through a custom mudroom with built-in storage.

Unmatched in quality. A complete architectural experience.
