There are three bedrooms and a full bathroom upstairs, including a third bedroom with direct access to the backyard.Outside, the private yard offers a multi-level deck, wrap-around patio space, mature trees and no rear neighbours. The heated in-ground pool is ready for next summer, while "The Penalty Box" adds a covered outdoor living area with a bar and room to watch the game.
