Description

Nestled on a tranquil crescent in Waterloo’s sought-after Lakeshore North neighbourhood, this 2001 custom-built 1875 sq ft backsplit offers exceptional curb appeal, thoughtful updates, and a wonderful family-friendly layout. This home welcomes you with a stamped concrete driveway, double-car garage. The main level features an inviting open-concept living and dining area with new hardwood flooring, elevated ceilings, and an abundance of natural light. The chef-inspired kitchen overlooks the family room and impresses with soaring cathedral ceilings, an abundance of freshly painted cabinetry, a new centre island, updated sink and cabinetry, and convenient access to the side deck perfect for summer barbecues and outdoor entertaining. The lower level offers a warm and comfortable family room centred around a beautiful gas fireplace, along with a fourth bedroom, three-piece bathroom, and flexible workstation/media area. Double doors open directly to a stamped concrete patio and a mature, fully fenced backyard surrounded by established trees, creating a private and peaceful outdoor retreat. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a completely updated ensuite bathroom (2023). The main bathroom has also been refreshed with a newer vanity and updated lighting. An unfinished basement provides excellent potential for future development, additional living space, or ample storage. Recent updates include a newer furnace, water heater, and water softener and freshly painted throughout and upgrade insulation. Ideally located with easy access to excellent schools, both Waterloo universities, the Waterloo Farmers’ Market, shopping, amenities, and the expressway, this beautifully maintained home offers the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and location (id:63159)
