Cross Streets: Richmond Street. ** Directions: Richmond Street onto Northcrest Drive. This distinctive mid-century bungalow feels wonderfully removed from the city around it. Set on an approx 1/3-acre, fully fenced lot w/mature trees, in the established Uplands neighbourhood of North London, the property enjoys a remarkably private backyard with a 20' x 40' concrete pool - an unexpected retreat. A fieldstone feature wall accents the covered front entry & hints at the character within, continuing into the foyer and again at the vaulted living room fireplace, creating a warm architectural thread through the home. Slate and oak hardwood add to the natural palette, while expansive windows, skylights and multiple garden views bring the outdoors in.The kitchen overlooks the pool and gardens, is illuminated by a large skylight & features stainless appliances and a window-wrapped breakfast area. A separate dining room steps off the kitchen into the living room & a quiet den adds a 2nd space to unwind. 3 main floor bedrooms include a generous primary w/ private powder room, bright corner windows & a walk in closet. The 2nd bedroom opens onto the back patio & pool & a 3rd adds option for home office. The main bath enjoys a large glass-enclosed glass shower & tile accent walls. Downstairs offers bonus room for media/play space3, along with laundry, utility and storage areas.Outside is where this property becomes something special: a heated pool, expansive stamped concrete patios (2026), established gardens and mature greenery create the atmosphere of a private summer escape. Convenient attached garage with inside access. Thoughtfully maintained, offering significant updates & upgrades. Weldon Park is nearby for walks and recreation, while Western University, St. Joseph's and University Hospitals and the shopping, dining and everyday conveniences of Masonville are all within easy reach. A home with character, privacy and possibilities - part mid-century bungalow, part urban cottage, and a setting increasingly difficult to find. (id:27476)
