A very special home in prime Upper Elbow Park. Huge lot (~10,000 square feet) on a bright and sunny corner. While discreet from the curb, inside you'll discover a spacious mid-century-influenced home that works well for the busy family. Nearly 5300 square feet of total development with 5-6 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and significant renovations and upgrades over the years. Generous entry with stone floors. Open plan principal rooms with huge windows on 3 sides allowing in tons of light...even on a dull day. A large seating area enjoys a gas fireplace and built-ins. The dining area has entertaining storage and overlooks the rear yard. The kitchen also overlooks the rear yard and features an island with 2nd sink and a pantry wall with excellent storage. Sliding doors out to the rear yard. The main level continues with a bedroom, an office (or 6th bedroom), 4 piece bath, 2 piece powder room and large laundry. Bright family room with fireplace and warm leather floors a few steps down from the main. A large and well-organized mudroom connects to the attached, heated and oversized double garage. The upper level has 2 huge bedrooms (one with a large walk-in closet and access to a large terrace) plus a 5-piece bath with double vanity. Easy to imagine a renovation that could create 3 bedrooms and 2 baths on this level, possibly incorporating the terrace into living space. The massive lower level holds a rambling and multi-function recreation room with wet-bar, fireplace and a "secret" room for kids. Also 2 more bedrooms, a 4-piece bath, sauna and endless storage. Newer infrastructure including a membrane roof (2010). Professionally landscaped to create an outdoor oasis with stone patios, pergolas, built-in BBQ, flame table, water feature, raised beds and landscape lighting...all surrounded by a high privacy fence. Hot-tub ready too. Elbow Park is a wonderful family friendly community. William Reid School is just around the corner and you are also in bounds for Elbow Park Elementary, Rideau Park Junior High and Western Canada High School. Also close to River Park (52 acres with trails and off-leash), the Elbow River pathway system (30+ kms for walking and biking), Elbow Park Community Centre, the Glencoe Club, shopping and minutes to downtown. Very hard to find a house with this size, condition and lot...a must see!
