'Tucked away in a peaceful and sought-after pocket of Opawa, this stunning home is more than just a place to live; it's an experience. A hidden retreat where botanical privacy, light-filled living spaces, and nature's beauty come together in perfect harmony.
From the moment you step onto the sun-drenched, North-facing hardwood deck, you'll feel a sense of calm and connection to the natural surroundings. Towering trees provide a serene canopy, casting dappled light over the sprawling lawn, where birdsong and gentle breezes create an ever-changing symphony of nature. This is the kind of home where mornings begin with coffee in the sunshine, afternoons are spent wandering through your own private garden, and evenings bring alfresco dining under the stars.
Designed for Seamless Living & Entertaining
Step inside, and you'll instantly appreciate the effortless flow and warmth of this home. Polished hardwood floors lead you through an expansive open-plan layout where the kitchen, dining, and living areas merge into one light-filled, welcoming space. This is the true heart of the home-a space designed for entertaining, relaxing, and making memories. Whether you're hosting a lively dinner party, enjoying a quiet family meal, or simply unwinding with a book, this warm and inviting environment adapts to your lifestyle.
Expansive windows and glass doors frame the garden views, creating a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors. Open the doors, and your living space extends onto the deck-ideal for gatherings, barbecues, or simply soaking up the sunshine in total privacy.
A Home of Versatility & Comfort
One of the standout features of this home is its thoughtful layout, designed to accommodate families of all sizes and dynamics.
Private Guest Wing or Master Retreat - A spacious bedroom, bathroom, and laundry are tucked away in a separate wing, offering the ultimate guest retreat, master suite, or even a private space for extended family or working from home.
• Casual Lounge Nook - Separating the bedroom wing from the main living area, this cosy secondary lounge space is perfect for relaxing with a morning coffee, unwinding with a movie, or throwing open the doors to enjoy the year-round sights and sounds of the lush garden.
• North-Facing Bedroom Wing - On the other side of the home, you'll find three generous double bedrooms, a study or nursery, and the main family bathroom. The master bedroom is a private sanctuary with deck access, garden views, and a spacious walk-in wardrobe, ensuring a peaceful retreat at the end of the day.
Wander beyond the deck, and nestled within the lower garden, you'll find a charming garden studio-a space brimming with potential. Whether you dream of an artist's retreat, yoga sanctuary, home office, or creative workshop, this tranquil hideaway provides the perfect backdrop for inspiration.
This home is perfectly positioned to offer both seclusion and convenience. Enjoy the village feel and strong sense of community, while also being just minutes from the city.
