About This Home

As of November 2022

Check out this gorgeous, stylish, renovated Lansdowne detached home! Enjoy fantastic outdoors space with a front porch overlooking the neighborhood. Enter through the front door into the spacious, bright and stylish living room complete with inlaid hardwoods, recessed lighting and modern ceiling fan, built-ins around the stone fireplace and classic trim and casing throughout. From the entrance you have great sight lines to the dining room and kitchen, creating a wonderful sense of connectedness and space. The dining room is incredibly inviting and again features hardwoods throughout, chair rail and soothing two-tone paint. Make your way into the fully renovated kitchen and feast your eyes on tile floors, Silestone quartz countertops, gray glossy subway tile backsplash, full ceiling height bright white cabinets with crown molding, stainless steel appliances including over the range microwave and black cabinet pulls and fixtures. Do not miss the walk-in pantry to the right of the refrigerator, it's just what you need for storing all of your food and essentials. Continue on through the main level and you will find an absolute show-stopper full hall bathroom that looks like it is straight out of HGTV. This bathroom features a large single bowl vanity with marble top, modern hexagon multi-colored tile floors and a tub/shower combo with gorgeous 3D tile from tub to ceiling. Next up is the 1st bedroom to the right of the bathroom currently staged as a home office. This room is bold and beautiful and gets great natural light from the two south facing windows. On the other side of the bathroom is the 2nd bedroom which is peaceful and private and has great closet space with the double closets on the left wall. Make your way up the stairs on the fresh and newly installed gray carpet to the 3 upstairs bedrooms, each of which offers a unique and fun layout and good closet space. The larger, rear bedroom features a massive closet and an en-suite bathroom as well! Modern light fixtures have been installed throughout the home and it is truly move-in ready in every sense of the phrase. The basement has great headroom, tons of storage, laundry and easy access to the mechanicals which include a natural gas boiler (arguably the best style of heat a home can have!) and 200 Amp electrical service. There is a bilco door in the back corner that leads to the backyard as well. The property features driveway parking with ample room for 2 cars or even 3, a rear detached garage great for a workshop or additional storage and a flat, secluded backyard that is great for BBQs, parties and getting fresh air and sunshine. This home really is the total package throughout! Don't miss out, schedule your appointment today.
