Set on one of the city's most prestigious streets, this stately brick century home strikes the perfect balance between old world character and the conveniences modern-day families seek. A classic centre-hall plan, high ceilings, original hardwood floors, oversized original baseboards and beautiful French doors speak to the craftsmanship of another era. Extensively renovated in 2014, this inviting family home offers comfort and peace of mind, knowing everything has been done.

It flows effortlessly into the dining room, where generous windows fill the space with natural light. It's an inviting setting that feels equally suited to lively family dinners on a busy weeknight and long, leisurely meals with friends - a natural gathering place that is truly the heart of the home.

With five bedrooms, four beautifully renovated bathrooms and an office (or small sixth bedroom), there is ample room for everyone. Bedroom level laundry is super convenient. The third-floor den is a wonderful flex space, perfect as a retreat for teenagers seeking their own space, a second home office or a quiet hideaway. Outside, enjoy the serenity of the generous yard and unwind in the hot tub after a busy day. Moments from the Chedoke Golf Course, Bruce Trail, McMaster University, Westdale Village and trendy Locke St and within the city's most coveted school district, this home offers an exceptional lifestyle in a truly remarkable location.
