Welcome to this charming 5-bedroom bungalow in Highland Park. It is set on a quiet street directly across from a park and a playground. The property includes a 2-bedroom basement illegal suite suitable for multi-generational living, a mortgage helper, or older children seeking independence.
This home is fantastically large, with nearly 1,100 square feet above grade, making it more spacious than the typical bungalow. The open-concept floor plan creates a bright and inviting atmosphere, as the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly together, ideal for entertaining.
The generously sized living room is a comfortable retreat featuring a massive window that overlooks the front yard, allowing plenty of natural light to fill the space.
A well-appointed kitchen is a chef’s delight, with granite counters, ample cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a tile backsplash, a dual-basin undermount stainless steel sink, and a window for even more natural light. The central movable island with bar seating adds to the functionality and charm of the space.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the formal dining area is perfectly positioned under an elegant light fixture. It can accommodate a complete dining set, making it ideal for entertaining, hosting game nights, or enjoying family dinners. Sliding glass doors from the dining area lead to the rear deck and backyard, providing an excellent flow for indoor-outdoor living.
The primary bedroom is a serene retreat with a large bay window that offers a south-facing view of the front yard, filling the room with natural light. Two additional bedrooms are well-sized and bright, providing comfortable accommodations for family or guests. The full 4-piece bathroom is tastefully finished with wainscoting details, a fully tiled tub and shower combo, and tiled flooring.
Stepping outside, the backyard is fully fenced and features a concrete/brick patio, a spacious grassy area, and mature trees, making it a perfect oasis for relaxation or play. The double tandem garage offers ample parking and storage space.
Additional upper suite features include a high-efficiency furnace, a central air-conditioning unit for year-round comfort, and laundry facilities with stackable washer/dryer units for added convenience.
The basement is accessible through a separate entrance, which enhances privacy between the units. This updated space boasts an open-concept floor plan, two bedrooms, a full 4-piece bathroom, and its own laundry area with a washer and dryer. Hard surface flooring throughout the basement eliminates the need for carpet, making it easy to maintain.
A well-equipped kitchen in the basement boasts wood counters, a tile backsplash, an appliance package including a dishwasher, ample cabinets, a dual-basin stainless steel sink, and a large window that brings in natural light. The spacious living area allows for a comfortable furniture arrangement.
Both bedrooms in the basement are generously sized, with one featuring an oversized window that enhances the airy feel. The full 4-piece bathroom includes an extended vanity with a granite counter and a fully tiled tub/shower combo.
The basement also offers access to its own private 3-season enclosure in the backyard, complete with a heater, making it a cozy retreat regardless of the weather.
