Located on pathways & walkways, with access to Centre Street & 10th Street, your commute will give you just enough time to catch the morning news by car, or an easy 15-minute bike ride to the downtown core. No waits in traffic either way. Walk along 10th St & Kensington Rd via the pathway at the end of your street. Safeway is just at the foot of the pathway. Even your dog will love this home; the Rosedale off leash dog park & McHugh Park borders the pathway at the end of your street. This home is peaceful & bright with a perfect layout. The front entryway opens onto a formal dining room to your right, & through to a delightful family room, sparkling white kitchen with miles of bright countertops. There is a built-in desk; a lovely place to enjoy afternoon sun whilst browsing your favourite recipe books or space for your littles to do their homework. The family room is graced with large windows & a marble-faced gas fireplace, & patio doors onto the massive deck. No matter sunny or rainy, your retractable awning makes this a year-round space. Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms located away from the main areas of the home – quiet, even when there are guests. The primary bedroom has a delightful ensuite. Floor to ceiling windows, and patio door onto the deck make for lovely, peaceful evenings with a book, overlooking the mountains to the west, then a short pop into bed. The secondary bedrooms are well-planned with ample closets and big windows. These bedrooms share a bright new main bath. Downstairs, there are 2 large bedrooms with egress windows, full bath with tub/shower, & a large storage room. A spacious entertainment room with floor to ceiling windows & patio doors onto a ground level patio complete the lower level. Your cedar hot tub is nestled just there behind privacy screening. Your back garden has beautiful landscaping, loads of grass & new fencing, making this a fantastic private & safe space for kids & pets. As a bonus, there is a large reception entry with tile floors, & loads of storage. Garage access is a skip across exposed aggregate pathways. Everything is done & there’s nothing to update: your home has a new furnace, new water tank, A/C and a new roof.
