About this property

Set on an exceptional oversized lot in sought-after Tara–Leeway Heights, this beautifully updated Cape Cod with detached garage offers the perfect blend of timeless charm and thoughtful upgrades. The home’s curb appeal and mature landscaping set the tone. Inside, hardwood floors, new Pella windows, and sun-filled spaces create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The main level features a spacious living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, a separate formal dining room, a renovated kitchen with modern finishes, an enclosed sunroom ideal for year-round enjoyment, and a convenient powder room. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms (with hardwood under the carpet) and two full baths provide comfortable living, while the fully renovated, walk-out lower level adds exceptional versatility. The finished basement includes a recreation room, fourth bedroom, full bath, extensive built-in pantry and storage, and direct access to the backyard - perfect for guests, an au pair suite, or multi-generational living. The true highlight is the private backyard oasis. Fully fenced and thoughtfully designed, it offers a large deck, expansive lawn, mature landscaping, storage shed, and a luxurious 7-seat Master Spa hot tub - an ideal setting for entertaining or unwinding at the end of the day. A detached one-car garage, three-car driveway parking, and additional street parking ensure everyday convenience.
