The Place
A four-bedroom Tudor in Old South with traditional old-world charm (and a pool).
The Details
It’s hard not to be charmed from the outset by this listing’s curb appeal, with its cottagey Tudor exterior. That warmth and inviting atmosphere continues inside the home, too, where wooden accents and neutral colour palettes lend a very natural, traditional feeling. Add to that beautiful hardwood floors, wooden cabinets and a gas fireplace in the main living room and it’s easy to see the home has a lot going for it in the way of character and comfort.
The kitchen centres around a large centre island with the dark quartz countertop. It also features a double-wide fridge, double sink, several built-in appliances including gas stovetop and double ovens, as well as plenty of cabinet storage space. Just off the kitchen is a dining room that opens into the living room through large French doors and overlooks the backyard. Just off the kitchen is a small writing nook with a built-in desk that also overlooks the backyard.
The upper level has the home’s four bedrooms. The bedroom over the garage, with its full-length windows is is an ideal candidate for a home office or art or fitness studio. The rest of the bedrooms feature hardwood flooring and plenty of natural light. The four-piece main bathroom is located up here as well and comes with a rainfall shower head and a double sink vanity.
The basement has been fully finished and contains a second fireplace as well as a three-piece bathroom. Hardwood flooring, shiplap walls, a TV hookup, the works — everything you need in a basement den.
And finally the backyard, likely one of the main draws. In addition to the swimming pool, the property comes with a hot tub, a detached wooden shed, a wooden deck area and — take it from the London Inc. brain trust, experts at such things — a very choice location for an outdoor ping-pong table. The first thing you’ll be saying after you take possession: “Whose serve?”
The Tour
