Considering the crazy real estate prices have you given up on looking for a bigger house? Are you a first-time buyer holding out for a longer-term one?

Well, this week we  may be offering exactly what you’re looking for.  An exquisitely renovated 2,010 square foot semi with a jaw-dropping open concept main floor, three bedrooms plus second-floor office, a finished lower level, and to cap it off, a rare private drive, detached garage and parking for three cars.

It’s nestled on a deep, treed lot with a 27-foot frontage offering greater interior space than a standard 25-foot detached house any day.

Start ticking off your checklist: front entry mudroom, foyer with elbow room, lots of closets and storage, lower level with good ceiling height and a home that has tons of mechanical upgrades. And that’s just the beginning.

Now let’s get to the sexy stuff: crisp, highly aesthetic living space boasts two built-in bench seating areas with storage and a fireplace to keep you warm on cold winter nights. Glass built-ins in the dining room complement the beautiful space and overlook a dream custom kitchen highlighted by an island draped in quartz stone that takes center stage.

You always wanted a huge bathroom in the sleeping quarters. This one is Zen like with heated mosaic tile floors to keep your feet toasty, lots of storage for all your stuff and a rain head shower to luxuriate in.

The lower level extends the living space housing a media room with tons of built-ins for board games, books and more. It’s adjoined by a fabulous four-piece bathroom with heated floors and a laundry room that can be easily divided to create another room.

And the upside is phenomenal: you can convert the current second-floor office into a primary bedroom ensuite or save the pesky moving costs and eventually add square footage to the back.

This house is more than you’d hoped for and offers a great deal of value including an enviable location a stone’s throw from St Clair. Enjoy delicious meals at one of its many restaurants, meet up with your friends at a nearby cafe, mingle with the community at Wychwood Barns and use the easy transportation to get around.
