FEATURED HOME
This rare new-build in Applewood delivers incredible flexibility with true multigenerational living. The full walkout basement lives like its own home—complete with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a private entry, and dedicated garage space—offering endless options for guests or rental income. Upstairs, the primary suite opens to a private deck with a new pergola, while the oversized 3-car garage includes RV parking, an EV plug-in, and power ready for a hot tub.
It’s adaptable, modern, and future-proof… but can you guess the price?
