While Charlesfort Developments completed an award-winning conversion of the building from the former Borden primary school in 2004, recent renovations to this home have resulted in a beautiful new kitchen and bath as well as smart storage spaces in both bedroom and bath!
The tall bright space features hardwood floors throughout. the kitchen is finished with granite counters including a massive breakfast bar, lit backsplash and lit upper cupboards. Smart storage in the kitchen with lots of pot drawers with a laundry room and extra storage space directly off the kitchen. The elegant bath features beautiful tiling with a luxurious walk-in shower! Extra built-in storage cabinetry was installed in the bathroom.
The spacious primary bedroom easily accommodates a king bed and views directly onto the private terrace. Custom cabinets were installed to facilitate smart storage in the bedroom as well.
Custom roller blinds are included on all windows, should you wish to filter out the light.
The outdoor terrace is extra large, providing over 364 square feet of outdoor enjoyment, with tons of space for the couch set, dining set and more. Lazy afternoon on a hammock anyone? You can also BBQ on the terrace so it’s very much like living in a private bungalow, yet while still enjoying all the comfort, convenience and low maintenance that’s only available in an a condo.
The terrace is fenced on both sides and walled at the back with both stone and gardens. The foreground of the garden gives you space to tinker with greenery and flowers if you wish, however there are also shrubs and trees beyond maintained by the condo which give you great privacy from the road as the spring leaves fill in.
