Neighbourhood Kirkendall South

Features Located near Highland Gardens Park and within walking distance to Locke Street South, this two-storey home is one of a handful of properties in the neighbourhood listed for more than $1 million.

Tucked along Glenfern Avenue, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom home boasts around 2,800 square feet of living space and is located in a highly desirable" area for families, said Justin Brown, a broker with Coldwell Banker Community Professionals.

The home is within the catchment area of Earl Kitchener Elementary School, a short walk from the Bruce Trail and close to other amenities such as grocery stores, pharmacies, cafes and hospitals.

It would be a great home for a growing family," said Brown.

The main floor of the home features a formal dining area with built-in shelving, a kitchen with quartz countertops, a large living area with a gas fireplace as well as a secondary family room. There are also two bathrooms and a three-season, screened-in sunroom.

Brown said the owners, who have lived in the house for more than 30 years, put in art lighting, a geometric backsplash in the kitchen and unique handrails - pairing the classic architecture with modern touches."

Upstairs, there are four large bedrooms, including the primary suite, nearly all of which have built-in drawers and closets. There is also an eclectic" four-piece bathroom, Brown noted.

Downstairs, there is a recreation room as well as a sizable storage room. The garage can also be accessed through the lower level.

The backyard of the home is lined with lush, mature gardens and features a stone patio with space for entertaining.

Why is it priced this way? Brown said the price of the home was influenced by comparable sales in the neighbourhood, the size of the lot, the square footage of the home and the state of the changing market."
