616 20th STREET W

Picture this: morning coffee on the back deck, completely surrounded by mature trees, with birds happily chirping and the sun shining on your beautiful yard. That's just a regular Tuesday at this West Hill home. Built in 1939, this sweet 1½ storey home has the kind of personality that is the envy of the neighbourhood, starting with those scalloped shingles on the roofline that make the exterior look like something out of a fairy tale. Step inside and the charm keeps going: beadboard ceilings in the kitchen and dining room, crown moulding throughout, a centre staircase that earns its place as the main floor's best architectural moment, and French doors opening to a sun-drenched den. The barn door to the basement is just the cherry on top. The updated kitchen holds its own with dark espresso cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a live edge wood detail above the sink that somehow feels exactly right. The dining room is large enough to entertain, regardless the occasion. Upstairs, both bedrooms tuck under the original vaulted roofline with cleverly maximized storage, including dual closets in the primary. A charming half bathroom completes the second level, where the wainscoting detail and vintage-style fixtures feel like they've always belonged there. The fully finished basement has a family room and flex room that's perfect for a guest room, gym, or another office. A large fenced yard that has been lovingly cared for completes the home. Want to actually love where you live? This home is for you! (id:53361)
