Inspired by the beautiful setting, this home was reimagined into something truly special! The 2nd story addition created a luxurious primary suite with a private deck made for sunsets. The renovation also added a 1176 sq ft garage with room for 5 cars and a lift. (There is also secure, off-street parking for your boat or RV). Don’t worry, there is still plenty of yard to enjoy on this huge corner lot with its potting shed, greenhouse, raised beds and many fragrant, flowering shrubs! Even when it’s grey there are no bad days here, thanks to the sunny atrium with heated floors. From this West End location, you’re minutes to Hwy 16, Titlow Beach, Boathouse 19 and the Scott Pierson trail. Don’t miss your chance to own an oasis in the city!
