The Lot
This 2.2 Acre parcel of land is located at the back of a 20+ year old subdivision. The area behind this lot is made up of hundreds of acres of forest. From the street you will find natural wild flowers growing in the ditch and at the top of the first crest of land. A well kept grass lawn with a variety of trees borders both sides of the main entrance. As you enter the driveway and follow the meandering driveway down the first incline and across a culvert for run off the driveway splits to front and rear parking areas. Front parking gives access to the 2 car attached main floor garage and additional parking for multiple vehicles. The rear lower parking gives access to the 2 lower garage doors and a large parking area that leads to the fire pit area. The backyard consists of walking trails creating a border with river rock gardens for a low maintenance back yard oasis. The home sits on a peak of sandstone in between 2 water courses which gives excellent drainage from the natural landscaping and the soil make up. The rear deck has been extended to include a lower hot tub deck over looking the creek at the boundary of the property. Access to the managed ATV trail system is less than a Km drive on the subdivision roads.

The main entrance leads to a bright open concept great room consisting of a chef's kitchen with hidden walk in pantry as well as a spacious dining area and living room with propane fireplace and ceramic surround. The architectural angles of the home are obvious as the roof line changes as you enter the hallway to the master suite. Guest powder room and laundry chute are found along this hallway. The master suite continues the vaulted ceilings with engineered tall wall along the back of the home. Oversized walk in closet along with an amazing master ensuite with ceramic and glass surround shower with body jets. Dual floating vanities, large linen and a free standing deep soaker tub complete this airy ensuite. The main floor mudroom accessed from the main floor garage and secondary front entrance can be isolated from the living space by way of pocket door. It contains 3 closets (one with a future laundry rough-in) along with a wall of built in storage compartments and a bench with shoe storage. The hidden shelf door gives access to a secondary mudroom which is also accessed from the main floor garage that gives way to the upper loft area.

The Lower level garage has a hot and cold faucet and gives access to a tool room for storing liquids etc. This tool room contains a slat wall that is hiding a lower level secret room.
