Description

A STATEMENT HOME. Tucked away on a sprawling 1/3-acre private treed lot, 37 Yellow Birch Drive is far from your typical suburban find. This reverse-walkout bungalow is a masterclass in unique architecture, offering over 2,400sqft of living space where every corner reveals a new detail. From the moment you arrive, the striking brick exterior, draped in mature ivy, hints at the immense character found within. Stepping through the front doors, you are greeted by a grand foyer featuring polished marble floors and a sweeping curved staircase. The main lower level serves as a retreat of its own, offering versatility with a separate side entrance, perfect for home-based professionals or multi-generational living. This level features brand-new oak hardwood throughout a cozy family room centered around a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, along with 2 bright, spacious bedrooms & a 3pc bath. The transition to the upper level is where this home’s personality truly shines, offering 2 distinct paths: the formal grand staircase for guests, or a custom metal spiral staircase that leads directly into the heart of the home. The kitchen is outfitted with crisp custom cabinetry, elegant quartz countertops, and a trendy backsplash that perfectly complements the high-end white Café electric range oven. Just off the kitchen, a dining area provides an abundance of storage, while a unique multi-purpose den, bathed in natural light from overhead skylights, creates an interconnected feel. The primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, offering peaceful views of the backyard & a luxurious ensuite highlighted by a classic clawfoot tub. For those who love to entertain, the formal living room at the front of the home opens onto a private terrace situated above the garage, the perfect spot for morning coffee. The outdoor experience continues in the rear, where a garden door leads to a custom deck & a secluded, tiered backyard featuring a hot tub (2021) and breathtaking views of the mature forest.
