The Place

A spacious three-bedroom, three-bathroom bungalow in in the Southridge subdivision of Tillsonburg.

The Details

We’re off to Tillsonburg for this week’s featured listing ― a 1,976-square-foot three-bedroom bungalow in the family-friendly Southridge subdivision, a great choice for anyone looking for the lifestyle (and pocketbook!) benefits of smaller town living outside of the city.

While this home has one main floor, and thus is technically a bungalow, you won’t really be struggling for space in this property, with more than 1,900 square feet of living space spread across its main floor and its partially finished basement.

The spaciousness is immediately apparent as you enter the home’s foyer, which features a double-height ceiling and upper-level window, lending an open and inviting feeling in the entrance to the home. From there, the home branches off into distinct living spaces, with a hallway leading to a bedroom and the bathroom to the left, the kitchen, living room and dining room straight ahead and the primary bedroom just off to your right.

The kitchen features lots of countertop space, giving you ample workspace plus plenty of upper and lower cabinets for storage. The kitchen also features a gas stove, a double sink and a dishwasher, as well as a workstation zone perfect for a microwave, bar area or kitchen library. There’s a tiled backsplash, and like the rest of the main level, the kitchen has hardwood flooring underfoot.

Behind the kitchen you’ll find the dedicated dining room with a full wall of windows and lots of with natural light ― wonderful setting for evening dinners or morning coffees. You’ve also got access to the back patio from here via a patio door.

Next to the kitchen and dining room you’ll find the living room, which centres around a gas fireplace with a beautiful wood mantle. Like the dining room, this room has a good number of windows, linding it a bright and airy feel.

The primary bedroom is located towards the front of the house, and has a large front-facing window, a walk-in closet as well as its own ensuite bathroom with an accessible step-in tub and walk-in shower. The second main floorbedroom, down the hall, is spacious and includes a large closet. The shared four-piece bathroom on this level includes a shower-tub combo. There’s also laundry facilities on the main floor.

The basement has been partially finished and includes a large living space with a standalone fireplace. This room would be ideal as a general den or rec room, with lots of floor space to play with. There’s also a half-bath on this floor, an additional bedroom that could easily double as an office or hobby room, as well as unfinished space that gives you extra storage, or room for a small workbench.

The backyard features a sizeable deck, with overhanging trees for some shade. The fenced-in yard also features garden beds, a storage shed and plenty of grassy area.
