OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY SEPT. 12 from 10:30 to 12. Looking to downsize and be close to downtown, but not ready for a condo? This property in popular Uplands may be for you. Completely transformed in 2017 through an extensive renovation, it's situated high enough to have a sweeping view over the city and part of the lake yet is an enjoyable walk to downtown and the beaches. The backyard is Zen-like, offering tranquil privacy amid an abundance of flowers and trees and the vine-covered gazebo. The large shed and three raised plant beds complete this gardener's haven. The feeling of airiness continues inside with a modern open floorplan that has a recently added sunroom opening into the garden. The well designed living area is ideal for entertaining, featuring a substantial island with granite counters and ample storage. The oversized window above the sink has a great view into the backyard. Gas fireplace, engineered hardwood floors, recessed lighting throughout, on-demand hot water, high-efficiency furnace. Two bedrooms up with a family room down that could be a third. Garage and a carport high enough for an RV. (id:60457)
