11 The Crescent

Description

Tucked behind mature trees, just minutes from both the convenience of Great Northern Road and downtown waterfront, this 1912 solid brick century home is a private retreat in one of the city's most desirable neighbourhoods. A brick walkway leads past the gardens to a classy front porch - built for morning coffee and quiet evenings - and through a newer door into a foyer that sets the tone for what's inside. Beautifully preserved period details carry through the main floor: original wood trim, hardwood floors, an ornate fireplace mantel in the living room, and elegant vintage wallpaper in the formal dining room. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with clean white cabinetry and tile backsplash, and a convenient main-floor powder room rounds out the level. Upstairs, four bedrooms share the second floor along with a full bath featuring a soaker tub, and the finished third-floor attic offers flexible bonus space - ideal as a studio, office, playroom, or creative retreat. Outside, a large back deck with built-in bench seating overlooks the backyard and garden shed making it a great spot to unwind or entertain. Economical gas hot water heat with a newer boiler and instant hot water keeps things comfortable and efficient year-round. Solid, well-built, and full of character, 11 The Crescent offers a rare blend of century-home charm and everyday comfort and convenience. (id:39198)
