Only 3 of its kind in the city! In our family for 24 years, this home has been the one no one can drive past without stopping by to say hello. All 1700 sq' up and the same below this house has housed babies, toddlers, teens, neighbours, family, Thanksgiving dinners, bridal showers, birthday parties, movie nights graduations and bbq’s for 40, and cozy fire-crackling evenings for one since 2000 and for 2 since 2014. Kids have left and returned. Family and friends in need during times of transition have been held and housed in all 5 bedrooms, more when the large family flex room expands with blow-up beds and blankets.
This Oakridge Estates home is the one people will come to on Halloween to watch a movie on the long driveway, 5000 bricks long! We know, we re-leveled all the bricks in 2020 & 2021. The large fully fenced back yard hosts a south facing garden that grows the best tomatoes and herbs and opens up to a spacious grassy lawn where grandchildren now explore and ps: there's plenty of room for a treehouse.
We are ready to move closer to our kids and grandchildren as they migrate north and would love to pass on the warmth of this home to another family. The layout is suitable to renovate into two-3 bedroom up/down units with ease and boasts a new roof, new south and rear back fence, newer back deck and new front porch/steps.
The open entertainment-style kitchen has stainless appliances, including fridge and gas stove, a new dishwasher, vaulted ceiling and patio that leads to the back deck. Open to the expansive living/dining area that can seat up to 40 family members during Thanksgiving, newer paint, sunshine maple floors, large windows bring nature into your personal habitat.
And as that gas-lit wood fireplace crackles the evenings are enjoyed with hearth-warming cuddles, stories and hot chocolate to soothe away the day.. The primary suite generously awaits yoru slumber with room to lounge, walk out onto your back deck and wash away the day in the large master ensuite with double sinks, floor to ceiling storage, separate water closet and huge steam shower with bench.
Two more bedrooms up escape onto the garage roof top private patio where sunbathing can be enjoyed in the afternoons, stargazing at night.
As the indoor water fountain trickles your descent to the basement where awaits two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a laundry/utility room, a continental kitchen with double sink and full sized fridge houses all the movie night drinks and treats. Enter the spacious family room where a second gas-lit fireplace can warm the space large enough to add another bedroom or divide to what we call the music and muscles room. Whatever your recreation, there’s room to create it.
This is a true family home. Maintained with love throughout the years and ready to welcome your new family and personal touches with income-generating potential.
