Property Description
Nestled on one of the most desirable blocks in Old North, this gracious, century home, circa 1915, exudes a timeless beauty & a nurturing energy. Step onto the lovely covered front porch and feel transported to a time and place where life moves a little slower, where neighbours stop to chat out front & wave as they pass by. Inside, the warmth of rich wood millwork welcomes you and draws your eye to the high ceilings, crown moulding & period details like the leaded glass windows, high baseboards & the old, coal fireplace adorned w/ 3 wood-inlay murals. The oak hardwood has been privy to a century’s worth of stories. Two sets of French doors draw you from the impressive foyer through the living room & then the dining room adjacent to a bright, sunlit kitchen wrapped in crisp, white cabinetry & huge windows overlooking the enchanting perennial gardens & lush trees. The backyard offers a tranquil space to retreat or a wonderful setting to entertain with its large composite deck, stone path, thoughtful array of greenery, and a patio under a pergola illuminated by fairy lights. With over 2300 sq ft above grade the layout is designed with comfortable rooms across three floors. The 2nd floor enjoys 2 bedrooms + a second-floor family room/office offering flexibility as a quiet den or a generous bedroom. 3 full bathrooms + a powder room. 3rd floor primary suite has so much character combining a restful bedroom & a lovely 3-piece ensuite with a sitting room & fireplace. A separate side door provides provide access to the lower-level study/office with 3-piece bathroom- a fantastic option to work from home. A beautiful backyard garage offers excellent storage possibilities – or use it as a man cave or she-shed. Conveniently situated within walking distance to Western University, St. Joseph’s Hospital & the downtown business centre.
