Cross Streets: Thames Valley Avenue. ** Directions: Riverside Drive to Thames Valley Avenue to Clearview Avenue. There is something wonderfully unexpected about this home. From the street, it has the easy, understated appeal of a classic ranch perched on a lush, treed setting in Old Hazelden. From the covered porch you take in scenic views toward the golf course & river. Step inside and it unfolds into gracious spaces, character and upscale finishes that have come to life through extensive renovations over the past 5 years. Warm hardwood floors carry through the main level & a romantic fireplace anchors a living room that is bathed in natural light from picturesque windows. Design & detail continue through the kitchen featuring beautiful cabinetry, built-ins, & corner windows in the breakfast area. An impressive picture window takes in the scenery from the separate dining room. The primary bedroom is particularly special, accented with impressive built-in cabinetry, a picturesque window bench & paired with a two-piece ensuite. The show-stopping main bathroom is spa-level, with a luxe vanity, a freestanding metallic-glazed tub, glass-surround shower, rain head and crisp tilework. 3 main floor bedrooms allow for office option & 2nd bedroom with premium built-ins. The lower level is one of this home's best surprises. Far from feeling like an afterthought, it offers an entire second layer of living space. A large family room gathered around a handsome full-height fieldstone fireplace has the relaxed feeling of a favourite cottage retreat. A full washroom, guest room & flex games/exercise room make overnight guests or extended family easy to accommodate. Throughout the home, original character is elevated by thoughtful updates & improvements. The fully fenced, treed property offers an idyllic backyard retreat. It is the kind of home that reveals a little more of itself as you move through it, and offers plenty of room for life to evolve. (id:27476)
