Description

This original home, built on the outskirts of small town Penticton, finds itself now surrounded by world class wineries. It's timeless charm has been preserved with the addition of a salt water pool, hot tub, solar panels, and stainless steal appliances in the open kitchen. A generous yard maintains a private oasis vibe with lush established landscaping.  The formal entry welcomes you into a bright living area with restored hardwood, gas fire place, and lots of room for family and friends.  The separate front dining room has kept its original crown mouldings with large new windows. A wood burning stove acts as the centre of attention in the open family space and kitchen, waiting for your cosy couch and fuzzy rug. Careful not to put your feet up in the window bench unless you have time for a nap. Up the spiral staircase is three of the bedrooms with two of the bathrooms. There is extra room for lounging in the master bedroom, as well as a way too big bathtub and walk-in shower in the marble en-suite. On the main floor, grandparents or guests can make noise in the east wing, with their own kitchenette, full bathroom, and their own door to the back garden. Quick access to the breakfast nook in the mornings keeps everyone connected. The laundry room is off a mud room entrance for convenience, boasting lots of hooks and built in shelves for all the kids layers. The detached studio building can be just about anything you want it to be, with amazing acoustics from the wood floor and ceiling in the front area.  There are two private back rooms, another bathroom, laundry, and small sink. Every room in the studio opens to the fresh air with French doors. Will it be your professional creative space, home office, wine shop, your generous guest suite? Or perhaps this is where the kids who are still at home will hide. Enjoy being outside with a fenced pool deck, fire pit, fruit trees, fragrant lavender, and a chicken coop so funky you'll want to get chickens. Updated gas furnace is balanced by the electric heat pump, new water tank, carbon filtration, and 200-amp service. The extra space in the basement is cool in the summer and warm in the winter, with lots of space for workshop tools and storage. Nestled at the start of the Naramata Bench, with a neighbourhood of awesome mountain biking trails, beaches, and fine local dining, this is truly a house to call home.
