Nestled among multi-million-dollar homes, this lovingly renovated 2+1 bedroom gem on a 36 x 135 ft lot is one of the few remaining bungalows in Leaside and it stands out above the rest.This home blends warmth, comfort and style in one inviting package. From the moment you step inside, the wood-burning fireplace and oversized window set the tone, imagine snowy evenings spent cozy by the fire. The open-concept living/dining area flows seamlessly into the kitchen, creating a hub ideal for everyday living, for Sunday family dinners or for entertaining buffet-style in the kitchen spilling into the dining & living room with friends and family. Both main flr bedrooms are spacious and overlook the garden for peaceful nights; the second bdrm doubles as a home office/gym with a Murphy bed for overnight guests. The fully finished lower level doesn't feel like a basement with the multiple above-grade windows and feels warm & inviting thanks to the broadloom underfoot. A large rec room invites family movie nights, while an over-sized dream dressing room doubles as a fabulous "sister sanctuary" with a powder room right there for mom's stress-free mornings. An open den/alcove offers a flexible home-office space, while the oversized third bedroom downstairs provides enough room for a bdrm & private work space. A separate room houses the laundry/utility and ensures plenty of storage. Step outside to a backyard that's been lovingly landscaped over the years. The hardscaped patio is perfect for dining al fresco, with landscape lighting, candles, and potted plants setting the mood for serene evenings. Further down this very deep lot, enjoy a secondary seating area or set up a jungle gym in the fully fenced garden, perfect for kids, pets, and summer fun. This home truly has it all: character, thoughtful renovations, and a backyard retreat in the heart of Leaside. School catchment is much sought after Northlea Elementary & Middle School. All you need to do is move in and say, I'm home!
