Who needs a cottage when you have a backyard like this!? Sitting on an oversized 50x208ft lot, this 16 year old home offers all the convenience of a brand new home - double car garage, cozy front porch, tall ceilings, large rooms, a main floor family room anchored by a gas fireplace that walks out to the back deck, a spacious kitchen with centre island and more storage than you could dream of, along with an adjacent breakfast room that also walks out to the deck, a main floor powder room and a large mudroom with side entrance off the garage. Upstairs, the primary suite features double walk-in closets and an ensuire with glass shower and soaker tub as well as a private deck overlooking your backyard oasis. All kids bedrooms have direct access to a bathroom and the laundry room is so much more than stacked laundry in a closet! Downstairs, you'll find a cozy rec room anchored by another gas fireplace, a games room larger than most finished basements and a 5th bedroom that is large enough to act as a home theatre!! If that isn't enough, the backyard is where this home truly shines. A large deck provides space for dining & lounging and as you walk back to the pool & hot tub, you realize that the backyard of every other house with a pool you have looked at was all pool and this just feels different. Life is made easy with full grounds irrigation so no more having to remember to drag the house out and spend an hour watering! All this in a dreamy South Birchcliff location with City Cottage Market, Corbin's Catering and Foods and Bodega by City Market. Also, Birch Cliff PS (French Immersion) is at the top of the street! This is a rare offering and shouldn't be slept on. Book your private viewing ASAP!
