The Details
Take a look at the curbside view of this week’s featured home: would you ever guess that this house has four bedrooms, two levels, a large backyard and an open-concept living space?
The raised bungalow format helps pack a lot of living space into this home on Olympic Crescent, just south of the intersection of Gainsborough and Aldersbrook roads in the mature, family-friendly Whitehills neighbourhood.
The main (technically upper) level offers an open-concept living space featuring hardwood-style flooring, with a living room filled with natural light thanks to a large, south-facing window, and dining area that includes banquette seating with additional storage. Just off this area is a centrally located kitchen, with plenty of counter space, a full suite of appliances, white tile backsplash and plenty of cabinet space.
There are two main bedrooms on the upper level, both with closets and more hardwood-style flooring. The main bedroom is spacious and features a walk-out patio door to a deck overlooking the backyard. The second bedroom is a bit cozier ― it is currently used as a home music studio ― and would be perfect as a home office, too. Rounding out the main level is a bathroom with a shower-tub combo.
The two additional bedrooms on the lower level really expand the functionality of this home. The first is a large bedroom, roughly equal to the size of the main floor bedroom. The second bedroom is currently used as a nursery, so there’s lots of space for baby stuff if that’s what you need. The lower level also has another bathroom with a shower-tub combo unit, and the whole downstairs offers quiet spaces within the home.
The backyard is another selling point here. For one thing, you get a two-level raised deck, with a large lower tier with enough space for patio furniture of any sort. Beyond that, you also get a spacious, fenced-in backyard, with trees along one side and a storage shed in the back. It’s a lot of outdoor space for a small home!
