Each bedroom is thoughtfully designed with its own ensuite bath and generous closet space, ensuring comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. A flexible home office easily converts to a fifth bedroom, allowing the layout to adapt to modern needs.

The Lower Level

The lower level adds versatility and function, with a spacious recreation room, generous storage including a cedar closet, and a full laundry room. A  cave à vin - a French-style wine cellar designed with optimal conditions for storing and aging a fine collection, making it a true highlight for any wine enthusiast.
