One secondary bedroom includes vaulted ceilings, built-in desk, Murphy bed with transferable warranty, & custom closet storage, while another features luxury vinyl plank flooring & direct access to private upper balcony overlooking the backyard oasis. Additional upgrades since 2019 include custom window coverings throughout, upgraded railings, spray-fo amed rim joists for improved efficiency, central air conditioning, tankless hot water, whole-home water filtration, reverse osmosis system (2025) plumbed to the fridge, water softener, fibre optic internet, hardwired network ports, central vacuum, upgraded 200-amp electrical service with surge protection, replacement of Poly-B plumbing with PEX, updated sewer line with backflow preventers, shingles replaced in 2014, & triple-pane windows replaced in 2020 and 2021. The structurally reinforced basement offers excellent functionality, with a relocated laundry featuring exterior venting, a sink rough-in, & walkout access to the backyard. Outside, the fully fenced yard creates a private urban retreat with multiple outdoor living spaces, including a covered front patio, lower backyard patio and deck, upper balcony, gas BBQ hook-up, gas firepit, stone pathways, flower beds, ornamental plum tree, paved alley access, & double garage.
