The Place

An impressive, recently renovated three-bedroom, two-bath detached home in Old South.

The Details

Described as a turnkey property and advertised at “distinguished buyers”, this three-bed, two-bath home in Old South has the whole package. It’s been recently renovated to feature a nice mix of the new — a new kitchen, a new upstairs patio — with traditional elements, like a large bay window sitting area, crown moulding, rich wood window frames and so on.

The focal point of the renovation might be the custom Braams kitchen, featuring new appliances, a gas range, granite and quartz countertops (including a bold dark island countertop, a statement piece in the kitchen). Off the kitchen, there’s lots of living space — multiple sitting rooms, as well as a dining room with a painted-brick fireplace and ceiling design that lends the room a unique look.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a large bay window overlooking the street, as well as two additional bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom with porcelain tile finishing, heated floors and a heated Toto washlet toilet (this is a toilet with a bidet, if you were wondering.)

There’s plenty of space outside as well. The two-car garage in the backyard has been turned into an all-season heated home gym, but new owners could easily return it to use as a garage or use the space for a workshop or studio. Overlooking the backyard are two patios — a lower-deck patio that’s covered and sheltered from the elements, as well as an upstairs patio that has a view of downtown and the park system that runs along the Thames.
