Incomparable. Unconventional. Within a modest, simple shell a metamorphosis has occurred. A solid raised bungalow remodelled into a beacon of style, comfort and yes, grandeur. Don't let the street view fool you, this not-so-little home spreads joy and reflects the third generation owners talents and pride to capture and preserve the love that has filled its halls for decades Studs were shimmed and trimmed and ceilings suspended on tracks, trim sanded and paint perfected to create a finish matched only in Lakeshore mansions. In fact, a short 15 minute walk will take you to the Waterfront Trail, its parks, playgrounds, open rinks, beaches, boardwalks, cycling path and yacht clubs. There are nods to lakeside living in the breezy colours, window nooks, fans and soaring cabinetry the peak almost 13 overhead where they connect to exposed wood beams. The foyer has a European sensibility that opens through 8 doors to open concept family living. A spacious square living, dining area with surprises at every turn: a loft w finished storage, a pet nook (or wine cellar for the less canine inclined) and reading nook against a west facing picture window. All culminates in a kitchen designed for the particular chef. Premium appliances, finishes, cabinet accessories and a U-shape providing a dance floor in the centre. The bedrooms are airy and inviting, featuring elegant crown moldings and rich hickory hardwood flooring. A beautifully hand-painted mural brings a unique charm to the hallway. The lower level offers versatile options, perfect for additional family space or expanding the home's living area. Generous rooms are dedicated to laundry, storage, work, and play, with 7-foot ceilings that match the quality and style of the upper floor. The wrap around cedar deck is perfect for entertaining and is surrounded by custom stone paths, landscaping and path lighting plus all the conveniences. The shed is built to last and can easily be a wee studio away from the home-life hubbub.
