Discriminating taste? Remarkable upscale home on a private property with a lovely winter view. The sellers have always preferred the privacy the trees have afforded them but with some tree trimming there would be a fabulous long range year round view. The location is perfect, only a few minutes to the hospital, shopping and schools. You will love the 9' ceilings, 8' doors and tall windows providing so much natural light. The decks are full length front and back and covered for maximizing enjoyment. There is also a matching garden shed and carport for two. Cooking in this kitchen will be a joy with a 5 burner Bertazzoni gas range, Bosch dishwasher, farmhouse sink and granite countertops. Additional space includes a combination butlers pantry and laundry, pantry and a powder room. The dining room is bright and cheery as well as the living room with a gas fireplace to cozy up to. The primary suite has a beautiful tray ceiling, ensuite tiled bath and walk in closet. Upstairs is a guest room with ensuite bath and another bedroom/office which is not counted in the square footage. There are 2 additional storage closets as well. This is a gem full time, part time or investment property.
