My approach to describing homes is simple: if the house is exceptional but the location is lacking, I focus on the house. If the reverse is true, I focus on the area. In this case, both are outstanding, so I get to balance the two. This ALL BRICK home offers over 3,600 SQ FT of total living space and is located on a quiet CUL-DE-SAC in the sought-after Kortright Hills school zone in the southwest end of the city. It BACKS DIRECTLY ON TRAILS and features the most TRANQUIL BACKYARD we've listed in over a decade. Inside, the main level boasts 9-FT CEILINGS and consistent 3/4-IN HARDWOOD flooring throughout. From the living and dining rooms, you're drawn into a French provincial kitchen with a cozy dinette. Step through the dinette into a backyard retreat that's truly special: a KOI POND, a shaded conversation nook (perfect for morning coffee or tea), and a charming mix of ROSE AND VEGETABLE GARDENS, all backing onto the Kortright Hills trail loop. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, including a primary suite with an ensuite bath and spacious walk-in closet. But for me, the highlight of the upper floor is the large rec room/family area, perfect for neighborhood gatherings, movie nights, or even a BRIGHT PEACEFUL YOGA SPACE. The basement features an extra fourth bedroom plus an additional room that could easily function as a FIFTH BEDROOM or activity area, both with cheater access to a shared three-piece bath. There's also a massive utility room currently also serving as a HOME GYM. The owners are meticulous in their care of this home. Please see the attached documentation for a full list of upgrades and installation dates. This is the kind of property we rarely see: a perfect balance of QUALITY, SPACE AND SETTING. We sell many homes, but very few match the caliber of this one. Its an EXQUISITE FINAL HOME for almost anyone. (id:2493)
