Welcome Home!
On the outskirts of Stratford Hills on the other side of the River lies a home nestled on a cul-de-sac. As you drive up on the paved driveway you will find your haven amongst mature trees and a landscaped backdrop. Are you ready to enter a residence built for comfort, ease, and quiet?
Sitting on Sunshine
Step into a marble tiled foyer that guides you into quiet comfort, the living room is designed for having contemplative morning moments Anchored by a wood burning fireplace, this living room invites the warm sunlight with a bay window that gives you a front-row seat to the stirrings of the neighborhood wildlife. We see holiday soirées and cozy nights in your future!
Wine and Dine
Speaking of entertaining, it’s an easy mingle from living room to the vintage wallpapered formal dining room. Enjoy Sunday Supper with your family or indulge in an intimate romantic rendezvous by candlelight. The louvered doors provide privacy and keeping the din of the kitchen out and the ambience in.
Chef’s Kiss
Open the dining room doors and find yourself in the heart of the home. This inviting eat-in kitchen is perfect for cooking and conversation, with quartz countertops ready for meal prep while stainless steel appliances make everyday cooking feel seamless. Plenty of counter space and an eat-at island that is convenient for a quick meal or a midnight snack. The eat-in dining area would be an ideal hang out space for all those spectating or a great after dinner game spot.
Crafting Your Own Space
Just off the top of the kitchen is a flex room ready for whatever you imagine. Whether used as an office, craft studio, or hobby space, built-ins and generous countertop areas offer plenty of room to organize art, cleaning, or pet supplies. We picture rainy afternoons here with a cup of hot tea and a good novel tucked into the reading nook. A versatile space ready to become whatever you need it to be.
One Way or Another
Just off the eat-in dining area, the home branches into two distinct spaces. One leads to an intimate nook featuring a built-in desk and a sunny view. It’s a perfect space for a mini library, nursery, or quiet workspace. The other opens to a peaceful retreat: an enclosed screened porch overlooking the backyard. It’s easy to imagine slow summer evenings here, where the breeze moves gently through the screens and the day winds down.
Farewell, Goodnight
Along the hall, you’ll encounter a beautifully renovated full bath featuring a double vanity, pocket door, and a spacious walk-in shower—both stylish and functional for everyday living.
Beyond this point, three bright and comfortable bedrooms await. Each room is carpeted and nicely sized, with large closets that provide ample storage. The primary bedroom offers its own private ensuite bath, complete with a walk-in shower and classic pedestal sink, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of the day.
Outdoors, for the Win
Perched on a gentle rise, the home carries a quiet presence while offering a sense of privacy from the street below. A paved wide driveway provides generous parking with a small lot for both everyday living and welcoming guests.
The surrounding landscape has been thoughtfully planted with native flora, allowing the yard to feel both natural and easy to maintain. Mature trees and established greenery frame the property, creating a serene outdoor setting that changes beautifully with the seasons.
A detached storage shed adds practical space for tools, outdoor gear, or weekend projects, rounding out a home where both charm and function live comfortably side by side and neighbors greet you with a smile.
