Cross Streets: Finlay Mill Rd. ** Directions: Bayfield St N, to Finlay Mill Rd, to Spence Avenue. You know those homes. The ones you drive past slowly because something about them catches your eye. The kind of home that makes you turn your head and quietly say, "Wow...that's beautiful." What you don't see from the street may be even more impressive. What appears to be one of Midhurst's most charming homes quietly hides a private backyard oasis complete with mature trees, exceptional perennial gardens, an inground pool, pool house and shed, and a level of privacy that feels worlds away from the city. It's almost magical how it transforms every day life into something special. Set on a beautifully landscaped 0.40-acre lot, the current owners of 16 Spence Avenue remember the first time they saw it. The warmth. The character. The way the home seemed to sit proudly on the street as though it had its own spotlight. They bought it believing it would be their forever home and renovated accordingly. Professional design guidance, quality materials, abundant natural light in all rooms, a custom kitchen with quartz counters, custom cabinets featuring Lemans corner systems and stainless prep sink on large island and butler style serving area, renovated bathrooms, rich hardwood flooring, exposed stylish architectural beam, and countless thoughtful upgrades create a home defined by warmth, character, and craftsmanship.The spacious primary suite features a beautifully remodelled semi-ensuite with quartz counter and frameless glass large shower with designer tile, while the finished basement, main floor laundry, and powder room add everyday convenience.Recreating this combination of lot, location, mature trees, privacy, pool, pool house, and quality renovations today would require a tremendous investment of both time and money. Here, it has already been done.Located on one of Midhurst's most admired streets, it's more than a house, this is the kind of home people remember. (id:27476)
