Extraordinary home at a fabulous price! This stately home has all the room your family needs and the separate office space & private ravine gardens you crave. Enjoy the quiet prestige of its superb quality & architectural character. Perfect for a McMaster professional who needs to be steps to work. Set on an extraordinary extra-deep, private ravine lot, this lovely Tudor-style residence is a rare offering in the heart of Westdale. Surrounded by mature trees and lush, park-like grounds, the home enjoys a remarkable sense of privacy while remaining just steps from McMaster University & Hospital and close to the Royal Botanical Garden forests & nature trails. Rich architectural character is evident throughout, with sumptuous gumwood wood paneling, gleaming hardwood floors and beautifully proportioned principal rooms. The thoughtfully designed layout balances elegant formal entertaining spaces with relaxed everyday living. At the heart of the home, the open-concept kitchen flows effortlessly into a bright and inviting main-floor family room addition with cozy fireplace & expansive windows overlooking the ravine garden. A private main-floor office with corner windows also overlooks the grounds. The upper level offers 4 generously sized bedrooms, while the finished attic provides a fifth bedroom suite with full bath. Crowning the family room addition is a wonderful private roof deck overlooking the rear ravine - an idyllic retreat for morning coffee, evening drinks or simply enjoying the view. Westdale is truly a nature lover's dream. It boasts top-rated schools, beautiful parks (check out the new kids' jungle gym and splash pad), miles and miles of RBG forests and behind Churchill Park are extensive waterfront walking/biking trails leading all the way to Bayfront & Pier 4 Parks. A short stroll will put you in the Westdale shopping district with its wonderful boutiques, restaurants, foodie destinations, coffee shops, public library & traditional 1930's movie theatre.
