Lynndale Retreat

This loved and solidly-built but dated home was made open-concept with a seamless flow between indoor/outdoor spaces. Disconnected kitchen, family-room, and eating-area were combined.

The resulting great-room features central floor-to-ceiling, double-sided fireplace with walk-through access to kitchen on either side.

Oversized ensuite rivaling a luxury locker room with standalone tub and no-threshold walk-through shower (with bench seat & full height tiling) accessed from either side of single floor-to-ceiling frame-less-glass panel.
