Property Description

This charming brick bungalow feels like home from the moment you arrive. Local legend says the builder personally laid the brick here and on several iconic Beaverdale homes, giving this Windsor Heights gem timeless character. Backing directly to sought-after Cowles Montessori School, the home offers peaceful views and a wonderful sense of space. Exterior 2024 updates include new shingles (home) and 6" gutters (home + garage). Inside, sunlight fills the spacious living room, which flows into the dining area and updated kitchen featuring cherry cabinetry and tile floors. The flexible upper level offers two connected bedrooms that can function as separate bedrooms or a spacious suite with a nursery, office, playroom, or craft room. Built-ins, a large cedar closet, and a full bath complete the level. The finished basement is ideal as private living quarters or a guest retreat with a conforming bedroom featuring an egress window, living area, full bath, and stylish barn doors. Outdoor features include a repaired deck with new stairs, an oversized two-car garage (built in 2012), established perennial flower beds, and generous green space. Full of character, thoughtful updates, and flexible living space, this is a home that adapts to your lifestyle and simply feels right. The adjacent lot is also available for purchase, offering a rare opportunity to expand your yard, create additional outdoor living space, or invest in future possibilities.
