The Place

A modern three-bed, three-bath in Hyde Park with plenty of opportunity for personalization.

The Details

At just shy of 1,900 square feet, this detached family home doesn’t have the biggest footprint in the world, but judging by the main floor, it sure makes efficient use of it, packing in a cozy living room, dining area and a kitchen that will make it hard to pry any home cook away.

As you enter the home you are greeted by a traditionally designed wood staircase finished in a rich hardwood colour. As you walk in, the home’s main living area unfolds, with a living room (centred around a gas fireplace and unique grey-and-beige accent wall) just off the kitchen/dining area. The kitchen itself features stainless steel appliances, gas stove, gorgeous off-white cabinetry, a tile backsplash, bold stone countertops and a large centre island with sink. Just off to the side is the dining area, with two windows and a door leading straight out to the back deck. The whole area has plenty of natural light, but both the in-ceiling lighting as well as the hanging fixtures add a nice warm, incandescent glow to the home.

The second floor features more hardwood flooring, leading to a carpeted primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and large ensuite featuring a walk-in shower, standalone soaking tub and his-and-hers sinks and floating vanities. The shared bathroom also features double sinks and floating vanities and has a combination shower and tub.

The basement on this property is unfinished and has the potential to be used in a number of ways. With three large windows, it has enough natural light to be converted into a downstairs family zone, a home gym, home office space, extra bedroom — or combination space.

There’s also a large, fenced-in backyard leading off the deck, providing plenty of space for kids or pets to run around, or a blank slate for the backyard of your dreams.
