Located in an upscale neighbourhood in the Arkell Springs development in the south end of Guelph, this year's Rotary Dream Home is the ideal family home.
This quality-built two-storey home by Terra View Homes has 2,925 sq. ft. of finished living space plus another 1,184 sq. ft. of partially finished basement and sits on a fully serviced and landscaped 51' x 108' lot.
The large master bedroom, located on the second floor, features a generous walk-in closet and a full ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower and whirlpool tub. The other 3 large bedrooms share the second floor with the laundry facilities and a second full bathroom.
The main floor features living and dining rooms as well as a "Great Room" with a breakfast nook leading through patio doors to a large finished deck. An exquisite kitchen completes the picture. A roughed-in elevator shaft provides the potential for handicapped accessibility to all floors.
The Dream Home is fully furnished and decorated for showing. A full set of premium appliances - refrigerator, range, microwave oven, dishwasher, washer and dryer - are included with the Grand Prize.
