Lower Level: Head downstairs to find a secondary living room featuring a pellet stove, perfect for chilly evenings, and a 65" smart TV with surround sound. From here, step onto the partially covered patio to take in the serene forest views. This level also includes a private washroom and separate shower room for added convenience.
Upper Level: The charm continues upstairs with a loft-style open bedroom featuring two twin beds. This cozy space offers a quiet retreat within the home.
