But wait, there's more to explore on this walk-out ground floor, including a light-filled family room with a wood stove; floor to ceiling windows and a sliding door to the front garden; two bedrooms and one full bath; and a large laundry room/utility room/storage room. This level is ideal for working from home, movie night or turning the two bedrooms into a one bedroom and a kitchen for an in-law suite. The possibilities are endless. Take the iconic modernist staircase up to the living room with its wood-burning fireplace, wall to wall windows with tree views and abundant natural light; and a dining area thats open to the renovated kitchen.
