Most people have no idea this neighbourhood is here. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac backing onto a protected forested valley, this beautifully updated home offers a level of privacy that's almost impossible to find this close to schools, shopping, Highway 401, and the Gaslight District. Step through the double-door entry into a home that combines generous living space with thoughtful updates throughout. The front living room, complete with a bay window, flows into a formal dining room overlooking the trees. The renovated kitchen features additional stone prep space, updated cabinetry, and a large movable island with seating, opening seamlessly into the family room where oversized rear windows and a walkout bring the outdoors in. A decorative floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character to the kitchen and family room. Convenience continues with a mudroom off the double garage offering extra storage. Upstairs, everyone gets their own space with five spacious bedrooms, including two with private ensuites, an updated main three-piece bathroom with an oversized glass shower, and the convenience of upper-level laundry. The finished lower level is made for entertaining with a pool table area, bar, spacious lounge, a sixth bedroom currently used as a home gym, and an additional three-piece bathroom. Outside, the backyard feels like your own private park. Enjoy multiple spaces to gather or unwind, including a gazebo, a pergola over the hot tub, a firepit, and a tranquil pond complete with aquatic plants, a waterfall, and goldfish. Fully fenced and backing onto a forest with no rear or front neighbours, the property offers exceptional privacy and a peaceful setting. All of this is just minutes from schools, shopping, Highway 401, and the restaurants, cafes, and entertainment of the Gaslight District. Opportunities like this don't come along often, a truly private retreat in one of the city's best-kept locations. (id:24093)
