Overview
Description
Welcome to your private retreat in sought-after Schwarzwald subdivision, Fall River. This one-owner, impeccably maintained family home is the perfect blend of practicality & comfort with a backyard oasis that could be featured in Better Homes & Gardens. Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, where kids can play street hockey or shoot hoops, this 2,500+ sq. ft. 3-bed, 2.5-bath home includes a pre-plumbed finished basement with potential for in-law suite or 4th bedroom. This area currently serves as a home gym and family room. You will love the bright, welcoming floor plan with cathedral ceilings in the foyer that soar up to the 2nd level and a large country kitchen opening to a family-friendly living room — this is the hub of the home. Spoil yourself with a large primary bedroom with walk-in closet and private ensuite bath that includes a jet soaker tub and separate shower. The show-piece entertainment deck really is a "WOW" factor. Expansive and resort-like, it will be your backyard sanctuary. Fully fenced with a stocked koi pond, fountain, gazebo, tiki bar, pool, cabana, pergola, lush gardens, and total privacy. You will enjoy many relaxing summer evenings out here with family, friends, and a glass of wine (or two!). The house is set well back from the street with manicured lawns, mature trees and gardens. The driveway leads to a courtyard-like setting with 2 garages — an attached single car garage that provides easy access to the basement level and another detached 2+ car garage with fully finished loft. Both are wired and insulated. The loft space is the "man cave" of your dreams — designed with character and comfort, it is accessible right from the entertainment deck. If you have teenagers, their friends will all want to hang out here! Energy-efficient propane furnace was installed in 2018, and a centrally located ductless heat pump provides A/C during hot summers. Excellent school district - Holland Rd., Georges P. Vanier, Lockview. Offers due by June 28, 6pm.
