If you’ve been dreaming of the peace and privacy of acreage living without giving up the convenience of being close to the city, this move-in-ready property in popular Balmoral Heights deserves a look! Located just minutes from the City on pavement, this 1.65-acre property sits high, surrounded by towering trees and offering beautiful views and a wonderful sense of privacy. The attractive red exterior, expansive decks and paved circular driveway create excellent curb appeal and make coming and going a breeze. The home was professionally renovated down to the studs in 2010, including new wiring, plumbing and increased insulation, while the floor plan was completely modernized to create the fabulous open design it offers today. The reverse walkout design takes full advantage of the property and provides an upper deck with views. Inside, the heart of the home is the inviting open-concept main living space. The timeless white kitchen features an oversized island and walk-through butler’s pantry and flows seamlessly into the dining area and great room — an ideal layout for entertaining family and friends. The wrap-around deck extends the living space outdoors, connecting both the front and back of the home. Off the great room, the spacious deck provides a beautiful private setting to relax and enjoy the hot tub, firepit and peaceful surroundings. The upper level features two bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and convenient cheater door to the main bathroom. The walkout level offers even more room for the family with a generous family room, media/fitness room, two additional bedrooms and a bathroom. A large 26’ x 26’ detached garage, built in 2010, provides excellent space for vehicles, toys and storage. Lovingly cared for and meticulously maintained by the long-term owners, this property offers a rare combination of space, privacy, mature trees and country living — all just minutes from the City. If you’re looking for an acreage that gives you the best of both worlds, this one is well worth considering!
