Two additional bedrooms provide room to unwind, welcome guests or work comfortably from home. Downstairs, the finished family room with its cozy gas fireplace creates a second inviting living space, ideal for movie nights or entertaining. Step outside to a landscaped backyard retreat, where a multi-level deck and established greenery offer a lovely setting for outdoor meals and quiet evenings. An attached garage with inside entry adds everyday practicality. Recent owner improvements include upper-level flooring, main-floor ceiling refinishing and the ensuite renovation, plus a 2018 roof, updated exterior doors and a 2025 hot water tank. Distinctive, beautifully considered and ready for its next chapter: this is townhouse living with a decidedly elevated feel.
