About this home

Welcome to The Coves, one of London's best-kept secrets, where nature, character and community come together. Surrounded by environmentally significant green space, peaceful ponds and winding walking trails, this unique neighbourhood offers a feeling of being tucked away from the city while keeping everything you need close at hand. It's a setting that makes it easy to forget you're still right in the city. With fall just around the corner, imagine relaxing on the front porch swing, included with the home, while enjoying the changing colours of the forest just across the way. Step off the porch and you are moments from beautiful walking paths where every season brings something new to enjoy. This charming 2.5 storey red brick home offers plenty of room for a growing or busy family, with generous bedrooms, parking for three vehicles and an easy-care yard. One of the home's unexpected bonuses is the fully finished attic, accessed by a full staircase and offering flexible additional living space. Create a cozy upper family room, a private parents' retreat, or even a spacious primary bedroom tucked away on its own level. The basement, with its separate entrance, kitchenette and 3-piece bath, provides a great space for a teenager or young adult wanting a little independence while still being close to home. Just a short walk away is Wortley Village, with its local shops, restaurants and welcoming community atmosphere. The Coves itself has a wonderful neighbourhood feel, including organized street gatherings that make it easy to get to know the people around you. If you have been looking for a home with character, space and a setting that feels a little different from anywhere else in the city, this one deserves another look. Come experience The Coves and see why people who discover this neighbourhood tend to fall in love with it.
