With a finished basement featuring a side entrance, a saltwater in-ground pool, thoughtful upgrades throughout & a tranquil trail behind, this home is designed for long-term comfort & elevated living. Here are the TOP 7 reasons this home stands out: #7: LOCATION: In one of Doon South’s most desirable pockets, you’re steps from nature, trails, parks & schools. #6: CURB APPEAL & LOT: Upgraded front steps, mature landscaping & a double driveway give this home presence. Backing onto a trail adds privacy & a peaceful backdrop. #5: BACKYARD LIVING: Step into a private outdoor retreat designed for both relaxation & memorable gatherings. The 28' x 16' heated saltwater pool is the centrepiece, framed by stamped concrete for a resort-style feel. A two-level deck offers zones for BBQs, lounging under the pergola, or curling up with a book. A dedicated fire-pit area sets the stage for cozy evenings, while an additional private seating nook by the pool creates a quiet escape. It’s a backyard designed for living well. #4: MAIN FLOOR WARMTH: Faux wood beams, custom built-ins, vaulted ceiling, crown moulding & upgraded lighting elevate the space. A barn-door powder room adds charm, while the open flow between living, dining & kitchen feels natural & inviting. #3: EAT-IN KITCHEN: S/S appliances, quartz counters, a stone accent wall & under-cabinet lighting define the kitchen. Patio doors lead to the backyard, while the dinette & formal dining room offer ideal hosting spaces. #2: BEDS & BATHS: Upstairs features three bedrooms, including a primary suite with walk-in closet & 5-pc ensuite. A 4-pc main bath serves the additional rooms, while a custom 2nd-floor laundry with built-ins adds convenience. #1: FINISHED BASEMENT: Includes a rec room, bar, a 4th bedroom & a 3-pc bath—ideal for extended family, guests or flexible multi-use living.
