About This Home

As of March 2023

What a gem! Welcome to this picturesque, renovated 3 bedroom 2 bathroom brick home in the heart of desirable Kensington. As you enter the main level through the convenient vestibule you are greeted by gleaming hardwood floors throughout. A generously sized living room with a stunning brick-surround fireplace and a picture window that floods the space with natural light is perfect for entertaining. The living room opens to a dedicated dining room with views to the lush backyard. The renovated kitchen with gas cooking boasts stainless steel appliances and stone countertops. Through glass french doors is a hallway leading to two sunlit bedrooms that share a renovated full bathroom which completes the main level. The oversized walk-out lower level offers tons of additional living space including an impressive recreation room with recessed lights, a large pocket door, and a wall of beautiful built-ins. A charming ductless gas heater adds additional coziness during the chilly winter months! The third bedroom, bright with natural light and boasting a Murphy bed and an ensuite refreshed full bathroom, looks out onto the stunning backyard oasis. A large storage room as well as a dedicated laundry room with newer washer and dryer (2019) complete the spacious lower level. Walk out from the lower level to an expansive outdoor patio and a park-like, fully fenced private backyard featuring lush landscaping and custom hardscape that will take your breath away! This impeccably maintained home features many upgrades including new roof (2019), new gutters (2020), chimney liner and cap (2019), and a new water heater (2020). This special home is surrounded by parks, and is within minutes to Old Town Kensington, shopping, restaurants, public transit and major commuter routes. Home Sweet Home!
