About this home
Peaceful, incredibly spacious and unique Ravine property in the North End. This expansive bungalow on just under an acre is nestled away down a winding driveway and hidden from the road by beautiful mature trees. With over 5000 sq ft of living space, this house offers so many opportunities for families, multi-generational living, and work-from-home setups. As you move past the foyer flanked by North & South wings, you will find the "wow factor" - the centrepiece sunken Great Room bordered by a wall of tall, wooded window views. A whimsical part of this house's history, this sprawling living area is just as suitable for family gatherings and summer parties as for warm holiday celebrations and cozy nights in. The inground pool is right behind with multiple access points to tree-lined decked enhanced by the ravine. On the North side of the home, an updated open concept, backyard-facing Kitchen with Caesarstone countertops and breakfast bar island. Echoes of the 1940s farmhouse origins are beautifully preserved in the substantial dining room, featuring exposed wood beams and a cozy hearth. Three bedrooms with hardwood flooring and a modern updated 4pc bathroom can be found down the hall. In the South wing, an office illuminated by a skylight with its own private entrance to the driveway is perfect for a home business. Further on is the gorgeous primary bedroom suite: closed off with French doors, it has 2 separate his & hers closets; a wellness-inspired Ensuite with separate shower & tub under skylight; and a walk-out to a personal patio. A fifth bedroom can also be found here, with its own 4pc bathroom. The lot is equipped with a pass-through, detached 2.5 car garage with breezeway, and 8+ car driveway ready for hosting friends or clients. This is a one-of-a-kind that is so hard to find.
