Inside, the home features a wonderful sense of flow, with generously sized bedrooms—each with its own ensuite bathroom—providing comfort and flexibility for everyday living or hosting guests. The detached garage has been thoughtfully finished and is currently used as an art studio, offering a versatile space ideal for creative pursuits, a home office, or potential flex use.
