About the property (MLS: 1286668):
Set on an expansive, park-like lot just minutes from the gates of Bowring Park, this exceptional custom-built brick estate blends timeless architecture with luxurious modern living. Tucked behind mature trees on nearly half an acre, this home offers unmatched privacy in the heart of the city — and a lifestyle designed for entertaining. Inside, discover a sprawling main floor layout with soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, and integrated built-in audio. The chef-inspired kitchen is a showstopper — with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, a stunning labradorite countertop, and a sink perfectly positioned with views of the deck, hot tub, and partially fenced backyard retreat. Perfect for hosting, the home boasts a massive living room with propane fireplace, a cozy dining nook, and an elegant formal dining room. A main floor den provides flexibility as a home office, library, or additional bedroom. The primary suite is a luxurious escape — complete with a large walk-in closet and a spa-like ensuite featuring a double vanity, soaker tub, custom glass shower, and a bidet for elevated comfort. Downstairs, you'll find an entertainer’s dream: a massive family room with a built-in wet bar, and two additional bedrooms, with the option to divide for a third. Outdoors, the park-like grounds invite everything from peaceful mornings to summer barbecues and backyard games. Relax year-round in the hot tub under a canopy of trees. And with Bowring Park’s trails, pool, and playground just minutes away, your family’s ideal lifestyle is right at your doorstep. Thoughtfully maintained and built to a level of craftsmanship seldom seen today, this is a vintage masterpiece. Replacement costs would far exceed the current asking price — making this a rare and valuable opportunity. The seller(s) hereby directs the listing brokerage that there will be no conveyance of any written signed offers prior to the 2:00 PM on the 23rd day of June with a response by 7:00 PM that day.
