The Place

A classic, three-bedroom, three-bath family ranch home in established Oakridge. 

The Details

With new renovations and large, comfortable family spaces, this three-bedroom ranch home in Oakridge offers a mix of traditional style with desirable updates like a new heating and air-conditioning system, as well as upgraded windows and hardwood flooring.

From a long and spacious front porch, the house enters into the living room, which surrounds a fireplace and natural wood mantle and unique reclaimed wood shiplap design. A few steps takes you into the large kitchen and dining area, which has been recently upgraded with new stainless steel appliances, a gas range, granite countertops, side-rail seating and a ridiculous amount of cabinet space. Should you want to take your morning coffee in the sun, the den off the kitchen has two large windows looking out over the backyard that, incidentally, features a gas barbecue, fenced-in green space and built-in hot tub.

There are three generously sized bedrooms in this home. The main bedroom comes with its own ensuite, while all three come with closet space and natural lighting. Downstairs, a family rec room features an antique wet bar, a second fireplace and new flooring. As well, there is a large laundry room, a built-in sink and added storage space. All told, this is a home that has been upgraded internally (windows, heating, etc.) while maintaining a certain residential suburban charm — a family home’s family home, close to the schools, parks and amenities that makes Oakridge and desirable west-side locale.
