Room to grow, a backyard you'll never want to leave, and McLennan Park just a short stroll away. This raised bungalow in family-friendly Laurentian Hills is freshly painted and move-in ready, with the big-ticket items already taken care of: new furnace and central air (2026), new eavestroughs (2025) and newer front windows (2023). The main floor offers three bedrooms on one level, a 4-piece bath, a living room with a big bay window, a separate dining room for family dinners and an eat-in kitchen with plenty of counter space. Downstairs, the fully finished lower level is the cozy hub of the house, with a rec room, stone fireplace and wet bar, a second full bathroom, laundry, storage and a mudroom with inside entry from the attached garage. Thinking long term? Zoning permits an additional dwelling unit, and with a separate side entrance, a full bathroom and a wet bar already in place, the lower level is a natural fit for an in-law suite or a rental unit to help with the mortgage. Out back, the fenced yard is a private retreat shaded by mature trees, with a stone patio, tiered gardens, a pond with waterfall, a garden shed and plenty of lawn for the kids to run. Walk to elementary schools and McLennan Park's splash pad, playgrounds, trails and toboggan hill, with shopping, transit and quick Conestoga Parkway access all close by. A wonderful place to put down roots.
