About this home

Inside the home

This West Brant two-storey sits on a walkout lot with a finished basement, in-ground pool, and more outdoor living space than most homes at this price. The upper deck off the dining room, covered lower patio under it, and stamped concrete pool deck give you three usable outdoor areas. Inside, the main floor holds up well — open concept layout, stacked stone gas fireplace, and a kitchen with maple cabinets, stone counters, and stainless appliances. The basement rec room adds a second fireplace and a built-in bar with walkout access to the covered patio. The ensuites and upper bathroom are original 2007 and show their age. Budget for those updates. The greenspace behind the lot currently backs onto open fields, though active development is visible in the aerial photo.
