This byron beauty is the quintessential family home located on a quiet street in one of the best neighbourhoods in the city. The awesome side split floor plan offers an open concept main level that is as adept at entertaining as it is keeping up with busy families. A bright living room flows seamlessly into an updated kitchen and dining room. There... is tons of workspace on quarts (cambria) countertops. The island features a lowered prep area and a raised serving ledge that could also make an ideal breakfast bar for informal meals, plus lots of storage in beautiful cabinets that include pantry style cupboards, and your inner chef will love the gas range. The dining room offers walkout access to a large two-tier deck that is begging to host your summer barbecues. Large and fully fenced, the yard is the ideal, leafy retreat that will let kids and pets roam safely. The large, heated astro shed can also be used as an office, complete with built-in shelves and desk. Back inside, the lower level offers a large family room with exposed wood ceiling and classic wood-burning fireplace with brick mantel and surround. Working from home? Theres a terrific dedicated office here as well, plus a nicely finished 2 pc bath and a mudroom with access to the rear yard. The basement offers an awesome rec/games room (lots of room for a pool table! ) plus a laundry room with extra storage. When the day is done, the top floor offers three nice-sized bedrooms (including a primary with double closets) and a modern 4 pc bath. When people picture byron, this is the kind of home and street they picture: mature, quiet, with awesome neighbours, walking distance to parks and trails (and boler mountain! ), schools, and shopping and services in byron and the nearby talbot and bostwick neighbourhoods. Come and enjoy summer on the deck! [Read More]
