Bathroom is shared with owner's teen son (half-time), who has the adjacent bedroom. He pans to move into an apartment to be built in the garage sometime later this year.

NOTE: This is a sublet of the regular occupants who will be gone for 7 months beginning April 27, so the rental period is limited.

A 6-year-old two story brick home on 1/2 acre in new subdivision (Tallowood Estates). Note, the toilet is an odor-free composting style. Shower, bathtub and sink are next door to the bedroom (see photo). The ground floor is a large shared living, dining, and kitchen space. There's a covered back deck and large back yard (for this development), 25m*15m--see aerial photo).
