There is something special about a home that feels like a private retreat, and this beautifully updated bungalow delivers exactly that. Tucked away on a quiet street and set on an expansive lot, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers timeless character, thoughtful renovations and one of the most impressive backyards you will find. The main floor begins with original hardwood floors running throughout the living spaces and bedrooms. A large south-facing bay window brings beautiful natural light into the living room and overlooks the picturesque front yard. The eat-in kitchen was completely redesigned by Legacy Kitchens, with sleek white cabinetry, recessed lighting, unique Dekton countertops, two pantries and a full stainless steel appliance package, including a 5-burner gas range and canopy hood fan. The spacious primary bedroom features a sunny south-facing window, while the second bedroom is located beside the fully renovated main bathroom, beautifully finished with a floating vanity, custom tile shower surround and rainfall shower head. The lower level adds another dimension to the home. A side entrance provides convenient access and flexibility, while the fully finished basement offers a large recreation room, additional bedroom and a truly unforgettable wet bar. Custom built from reclaimed barn wood and featuring under-cabinet lighting and a sink crafted from an old whiskey barrel, this is a space designed for entertaining and conversation. A second full bathroom, laundry room, storage room and mechanical room complete the basement. And then there is the backyard. Expansive, mature and incredibly private, the outdoor space begins with a large deck accessed from the side entrance that wraps around the rear of the home and stretches toward the garage. Mature trees surround a custom water feature, creating a peaceful setting for summer evenings and outdoor gatherings. A flagstone path winds through lush garden beds toward a large grassy area framed by mature trees and a generous storage shed. The oversized double detached garage is insulated, drywalled and heated, with ample room for two vehicles, storage and workbenches. The home has also benefited from numerous meaningful upgrades, including the roof(2012) with 45-year shingles, basement bathroom renovation (2014), deck extension (2020), full kitchen and main floor bathroom renovations (2023), updated electrical panel, newer windows, upgraded attic insulation and a new hot water tank. The furnace has been well maintained and regularly serviced. A home with character, functionality and an outdoor setting that truly needs to be seen to be appreciated.
