10 TAGGART CRESCENT

Almost half an acre in town, an easy walk to anywhere in Perth, and a layout that gives everyone their own wing. Mornings start with coffee on the deck, looking out over perennial gardens and your own patch of woods. The birds are a daily show.

Evenings can mean dinner downtown, a stroll through Stewart Park or a game at the curling club, then home to your quiet cul-de-sac. Built around 2005, this home brings everyone together without putting anyone on top of each other. The main floor has everything you need, with hardwood throughout the living areas and bedrooms.

Just inside the front door, the living room and formal dining room are ready for holiday dinners and company. The primary suite has a sitting room, walk-in closet and an ensuite with jetted tub, double vanity and glass shower. There's also a second bedroom, another full bath and main floor laundry.

The kitchen is where everyone will end up. It has a long curved island, plenty of white cabinetry and a bright dining area with French doors to the deck. Just off the kitchen, the family room has a wall of windows looking out over the backyard.

A private staircase leads up to a generous bedroom with a 3 piece bath, a perfect retreat for older kids or long-stay guests. A sweeping curved staircase leads down to the walkout lower level, with radiant in-floor heat throughout. The large rec room has a gas fireplace and French doors to the covered patio.

A bedroom with walk-in closet and an accessible bathroom with roll-in shower offer real independence for multi-generational living. You'll also find an office and a workshop. The straight staircase to the lower level has room to add a chair lift if it's ever needed.

The stone facade and covered front porch make a great first impression. Extras include an inground sprinkler and a large shed, and the home is very economical to heat.
