Living Here

- By Jane Pinzhoffer

Nestled within a quiet residentia­l neighbourh­ood where pride of ownership is evident along the inviting streetscap­e, this beautiful 2-storey, 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bathroom home sits on a mature treed lot with 54’ frontage. A double width concrete driveway and double car garage provide ample parking when friends and family visit.

From the moment you step into the expansive foyer, you’ll notice how bright and airy the unique layout is. Natural light spills into every corner of its 2751 square feet, enhancing the gleaming, warm hardwood flooring which extends from the front door to the back. The spacious creative design flows smoothly from the welcoming foyer to the sitting room, a rare cozy reading nook with an open-to-above view and a walkout to the comfortabl­e wood deck with tempered glass enclosures - a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the sweet sounds of birdsong and the wind through the trees. The fully fenced backyard integrates the beauty of nature with mature trees, offering a symbiotic balance of openness and privacy in its 115 depth.

The large formal dining room boasts a soaring vaulted ceiling, expanding on the spacious feel to this home, as does the huge picture window, with its view to the backyard. Striking hickory floors shine both here, and in the sunken living room, highlighte­d by a welcoming corner natural gas fireplace.

The heart of every home is the kitchen, and it’s no exception here, with an inviting eat-in design incorporat­ing ceramic tile floors, an island, stainless steel appliances, a built-in desk area, and an enviable amount of cupboard and counter space. The smart and practical main floor layout also includes a large front hall closet, laundry room, and new powder room.

An open staircase takes you to the spacious upper level with a second open sitting area and open-to-below view. The master suite includes a walk-in closet and opens to an ensuite complete with a large soaker tub and stand-alone corner glass shower. The second bedroom overlooks the backyard and is of master-sized proportion­s, featuring a double closet and cheater access to the family bathroom shared with the third generous-sized bedroom which is currently set up as a home office.

A well-designed basement awaits your finishing touches for another level of living space.

A tasteful soft, neutral colour scheme throughout will complement any décor.

112 Darren Crescent puts you amid natural surroundin­gs yet within minutes of the 401, the expressway, and the tri-cities. St. Elizabeth Catholic Elementary School, Hespeler Public School, and Hespeler Memorial Arena and Optimist Park are all close by, as is shopping and dining in this highly sought after community.

Come see for yourself at the Open House this Sunday, March 5 from 2 to 4 p.m.
