Markham Second Suite Addition

Basement 3811 sq.ft. | Ground 3675 sq.ft. | Second 1038 sq.ft.

The 2-storey side addition plus basement to the existing bungalow creates a fully independent second suite on the property. The new suite features a basement rec room with a home gym, guest room, bathroom and a laundry room with a dog wash station. The ground floor enters to a sunken foyer with a powder room off to the side then flows into a 2-storey tall living room space with an open staircase along the side. The 3-sided fireplace transitions over to the kitchen with a walk-in pantry and dining space which leads to a rear deck. A hallway vestibule connects back to the main house and allows the addition to be offset to create minimal disturbance to the existing house. The second floor has an open study space which overlooks the backyard with a balcony and also looks down to the 2-storey tall living room. The 2 bedrooms upstairs have their own walk-in closets which lead into a 4-piece ensuite with an oversized shower and private water closet. On the exterior, the expansive windows and cantilevered second floor creates a modern contrast to the existing traditional bungalow. The dark grey stucco is complemented by composite wood siding inlays while the second floor overhang allows for accent lighting around the exterior facade.
