Off the living room is access to the private commercial space, once home to a vibrant legal practice with separate entrance and plenty of parking. The second level boasts four large bedrooms, all with double-aspect windows and California shutters. Updated 4-piece family bath with step-in glass shower and quartz topped vanity. But wait! Open a door and walk up to yet another level! This massive attic room has been converted to a large family room complete with skylights for additional light. Great kids' playroom, games room or office space. The basement offers great storage space and has the furnace (2014), central vac, and tankless hot water. The outside space has been professionally landscaped over the years offering a detached garage with concrete floor, additional storage space and patio area, decking, pergolas and picturesque walkway. This unique property checks a lot of boxes! Work from home. Multi-generational home. Private backyard oasis and QEW access close by.
