Experience a kind of life photos can't fully express. Tucked down a private lane, quietly situated behind lush gardens, sheltered by the trees, park and river forks just beyond. Enjoy morning coffee on your front porch, nestled among this exclusive collection of homes at the centre of the city - a footbridge to downtown just steps away and Wortley Village a five-minute walk. Inside, the great room earns its name: cathedral ceiling, wall of windows, open kitchen with island, living room with fireplace, built-ins and a dining room overlooking the green-space. From your deck with gas hookup - room to dine and entertain - actual front-row seats to the river, park, changing seasons - and fireworks from the Forks of the Thames. The large principal bedroom carries the same cathedral ceiling, with a proper ensuite and walk-in. A bright second bedroom, family bath, and main-floor laundry round out a main level that simply works. Anchoring the lower level is the generous family room with second fireplace and walk-out. Two truly lovely guest bedrooms, a three-piece bath, large workshop, cold room and wine cellar and storage that earns the word abundant - space for everyone and everything. The covered patio is surrounded by more gardens. Private forest stairs (updated 2023) and gate lead directly to the park, path, and river.Immaculately cared for - nothing left to chance. Recent updates include: heat pump for quiet, efficient heating and cooling (2022), owned water heater (2023) composite deck (2022), 50-year GAF fibreglass roof (2016), fireplaces serviced bi-annually, 2 car garage painted interior shows pride of ownership. $2,000 HOA annual fee covers private road maintenance, road and driveway snow removal, and a healthy reserve fund. Thoughtfully managed. Close to everything, miles from ordinary.
