The renovation
This home was originally built in 1957 but has been lovingly transformed with a full renovation. The home is modern, warm and charming, with sleek, high-end appliances, open layouts, large bedrooms and inviting rooms. The primary bedroom and bathroom are as big as the main floor in some houses, adding a sense of luxury and privacy.
Cork flooring in the basement adds cushioning, warmth and style. The basement also has its own wine cellar/cold room, while the yard has been beautifully landscaped. Each updated feature in the home has been done to ensure it retains its charm and warmth while also offering modern amenities and appeal.
