Tucked along a peaceful street behind lovingly tended gardens, this charming bungalow offers the ease of one-floor living with old-world character intact. The location checks every practical box - shopping, transit, schools, and a straightforward commute to downtown, Fanshawe, Western, and the highways - but it's the feeling of the place that stays with you.The same family has tended this home and its remarkable grounds for many years, and it shows. Inside, the generous living and dining room centres on a warm gas fireplace - a natural gathering space. The kitchen is sensibly laid out, making daily life genuinely easy. A bonus family room with free standing gas fireplace extends the living space and looks out over the gardens and ponds that are clearly the heart of this property. Two comfortable main floor bedrooms share a well-appointed four-piece bath. Downstairs, the basement offers impressive height and footprint - a blank canvas ready for a rec room, guest suite, workshop, hobby room, or whatever you can envision.Step outside and the backyard earns its reputation: two ponds, a garden shed with gas heater, dedicated storage, a deck, an additional seating area, and full fencing make it a genuinely private retreat.The big-ticket items are sorted. Furnace (2010), AC (2024), washer (2025), dryer (2015), smart thermostat (2023), 40-year shingles (2000-2004), driveway (1993), back room addition (1995), copper plumbing, owned water heater (2026), and low-maintenance siding throughout.
