A finished walk-up attic offers a versatile bonus area—ideal as a cosy movie room, home office, playroom, additional storage, or even the potential for a future bedroom with ensuite.

Recent upgrades include a durable, long-lasting steel roof (10 years old) on both the house & garage, a new water softener (1 year old) and updated plumbing. 

A separate entrance leads to an unfinished basement with workshop space, laundry area, and a cold cellar.
