More space, more flexibility and exciting in-law suite or future rental income potential! This beautifully updated home has so much more than meets the eye. A separate entrance leads to a bright lower level with high ceilings, above grade windows, a full bathroom, laundry room, spacious living area and flexible bedroom space, creating excellent possibilities. Set on a quiet Bendale street with refreshed curb appeal, stunning mature gardens and thoughtful landscaping, a carport and an impressive approx. 41 x 125 ft lot, this home is ready to be enjoyed inside and out. The bright, carpet-free main and upper levels feature hardwood flooring. On the main floor, the former third bedroom was opened to create a generous, open-concept living and dining area; for buyers wanting additional bedroom space, it could easily be converted back to restore a three-bedroom layout. Step onto the modern porch with sleek glass railings and into an exceptionally deep, tree-lined backyard with wonderful privacy. Such an incredible setting for entertaining, summer evenings or peaceful downtime. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms include one with a walk-in closet, while access behind the bedroom walls reveals an abundance of valuable eaves and attic storage. Important improvements include a newer furnace, owned hot water tank and a newer roof with a transferable warranty. All this in an established Bendale pocket close to Hunter's Glen and Charles Gordon schools, Hunters Glen Park, steps to TTC, close to Scarborough Town Centre, Thomson Memorial Park, Scarborough Health Network General Hospital, shopping and Highway 401. A rare combination of pride of ownership, character and major curb appeal, thoughtful updates, flexible living space, smart storage and an exceptional backyard retreat anyone would be proud of! *Some photos are virtually staged.
