The Place
Thanks to an extensive redesign that, among other things, added an entire floor, this property offers a bit of both worlds: a new, modern luxury aesthetic in a more traditional, established neighbourhood. This former bungalow was transformed by the previous owner, turning the main level into an open-concept, luxury condo-style living area, complete with a brand new kitchen, quartz countertops, a large island with built-in sink and bar seating, custom cabinets with inside drawers, a wide fridge, dishwasher and wine sink.
Take a walk up the full-width staircase and onto the second level and you’ll see how extensive the upgrades are, from the newly-built bedrooms to the entirely new plumbing and HVAC. Vaulted ceilings give the bedrooms a big, spacious feeling, and large windows fill the main bedroom with natural light. The main bedroom features a custom ensuite, with his-and-hers sinks and a walk-in shower. A third bedroom offers a place for a potential home office or upstairs den. And having laundry on the second floor is, if nothing else, super convenient — no need to waddle down a flight of stairs with a hamper in tow.
The unfinished backyard area offers plenty of potential for a new homeowner to put their own personal stamp on things, whether that’s laying down grass or putting in a finished patio. Currently it is a gravel driveway leading to a detached garage, but there are options if you don’t need that much parking. A new covered deck has been added to the property, providing some extra outdoor living space with a bit of protection from the elements.
