Home of the Week: 1012 Oxford Street West

$729,900 for a one-of-a-kind, California-inspired Oakridge home looking for a little vision and care

Address: 1012 Oxford Street West
Neighbourhood: Oakridge
Agent: Kourtney Krasnicki, Maverick Real Estate Inc.
Price: $729,900

The Place

A unique, California-ranch-inspired four-bedroom in the family friendly Oakridge neighbourhood.

The Details

With five bedrooms and over 3,100 square feet of living space, this two-storey house — with flourishes of mid-century California contemporary style but otherwise not easily categorizable, architecturally speaking — offers a little bit of everything. Featuring poured cement and steel beam construction, the main level boasts a more traditional layout, with three bedrooms, a rec room and a den. But it is upstairs where this house comes to life, with a stylish open-concept layout, featuring a tricked-out chef’s kitchen with an industrial gas stove, flat-top and a grill (to say nothing of the double ovens, the pasta arm and the warming oven), living and dining rooms, a sizeable patio and space for a home office or extra bedroom. The backyard features a hot tub room with shower, an in-ground swimming pool and a small pool house that doubles as a tiki hut with bar seating. Yes, it needs a little TLC both inside and out, but there are not many homes like this on the market.

The Tour

Big Selling Point
