About this home
A STORYBOOK SETTING IN ONE OF THE CITY'S MOST COVETED NEIGHBOURHOODS. Hidden beneath a canopy of mature trees in one of the area's most prestigious neighbourhoods, this enchanting red-brick residence feels as though it has been lifted from the pages of a classic novel. From the moment you arrive, the charming covered front porch, winding walkway, and timeless architectural details create a sense of warmth and wonder that is increasingly difficult to find. Step inside and discover a home rich with character and craftsmanship. Sunlight pours through oversized windows, illuminating soaring trim work, original details, and beautifully preserved spaces. The elegant formal living room welcomes guests with a cozy fireplace and picturesque bay window, while the vibrant dining room provides the perfect backdrop for holiday celebrations. At the heart of the home, everyday living unfolds effortlessly. A spacious main-floor primary bedroom (virtually staged), full bathroom, and convenient laundry area offer the ease of single-level living without compromising charm or character. Toward the rear of the home, a kitchen and bright family room capture peaceful views of the surrounding greenery and lead directly to one of the property's most magical features, a large screened-in porch suspended among the trees. Outside, the grounds feel more like a private park than a backyard. Sweeping lawns, mature trees, and beautifully tiered stone gardens. Upstairs, 2 bright and inviting bedrooms are accompanied by a charming full bathroom and abundant storage. The lower level adds yet another layer of possibility with a spacious walk-out recreation room (virtually staged). Complete with an attached garage, incredible curb appeal, and a location that places you among some of the area's most beautiful homes.
