An enclosed front porch invites you from the front door, leading into a living room with wood burning fireplace, and through French doors to the family room. The easy flow continues to your right with the sunny dining room leading to a private office or through another pair of French doors to the large kitchen and breakfast area. Upstairs are four substantial bedrooms all with dormer windows drawing in light from four directions and two family bathrooms. With an additional powder room. laundry room, games room and storage area, the lower level is very functional, or provides a blank slate for further interpretation.Birch Cliff is such a surprising neighbourhood.
