Tastefully renovated kitchen with custom cabinetry, breakfast bar, quartz counters, continuous quartz backsplash, stainless appliances and ample storage. Teeming with light, the open great room has plenty of versatile space for a living area, work space, dining table, or personal yoga studio. Once into the unit, you can live on one level with original maple floors, a newly tiled & refreshed bathroom, bedroom, and high efficiency washer and dryer units. Programmable thermostats and LED lighting throughout. The loft allows for an additional guest room, home office or study with a private bath. Well run association, 2 car parking plus overflow guest parking, 12x12 locked basement storage, additional bike/boat storage, and a wonderfully private side yard.
