(STEP INSIDE) Walk in and the foyer opens under an 18 ft cathedral ceiling, with 9 ft ceilings carrying through the main level. It sets a bright, open tone before you've taken your shoes off. This detached 2-storey in Milton gives a family room to spread out, with a finished lower level as well. (MAIN LEVEL) The family & dining rooms share one open space with hardwood flooring, a natural gas fireplace & a view over the backyard. It's the room everyone ends up in on a November evening, & it's easy to host in. The kitchen has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas stove & a dishwasher, so cooking for a crowd is no trouble at all. The eat-in breakfast area walks out to the deck, so morning coffee outside is an easy call. A sunken laundry room with a laundry tub, plus a 2pc powder room, completes the level. Come home through the garage & you step straight into the laundry room, no wet boots tracked through the house. (UPPER LEVEL) The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet & a 4pc ensuite with a separate stand-up shower, a calm place to start the day. Three more bedrooms each have a closet, & a den with hardwood flooring makes a handy home office. A second 4pc bath serves the other bedrooms. Carpeted bedrooms stay quiet underfoot. (LOWER LEVEL) The finished basement adds a rec room with pot lights, a kitchen, two bedrooms, an office & a 4pc bath. Laminate flooring runs through, & the rec room has a window for daylight. A second laundry room with a washer & dryer keeps the lower level self-contained. Plenty of room for a big family, extended family or guests.
