LISTING DETAILS

The house has served this family well since the floor plan is smart and can flex as families grow or shrink! Friends and family gather in the warm, bustling new kitchen, lounging on sofas or propping up the central island, with a glass of wine while the chef does their magic.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS HOME (From the Homeowner)
This livable family home has flexed and morphed with us as our family has grown, shrunk and changed over the years. When we moved in a decade ago, with two teenage sons and a 6-year-old daughter, the third floor was perfect for the boys, keeping the smell of stinky socks well away from the rest of humanity. When they mercifully went off to college, we shut the doors to the third floor, and the rest of the house molded comfortably to our new, smaller needs. Friends and family gather in the warm, bustling kitchen when we entertain. And when my husband and I are alone on a cosy night in, we gather in front of the wood fire in the sitting room, snug as bugs in a rug with the TV. It is a beautiful home, but more importantly, it is alive, living and breathing with us, meeting our needs before we even know we have them.

There is a carriage house behind this house, which was once a rental for it as well. The sales listing for the carriage house says it's a "condominium subdivision". I don't know if that means it was sold separately and now simply shares the driveway or if it is somehow still connected to the property (though it is not connected to this listing), but I thought I would add the photos since I found them. You can see the carriage house out the front windows of the rental/guest suite on the left side of the photo below.
