Space, privacy & potential - all at a price point that makes detached living more attainable. If you've been shopping for a townhome but wishing for the extra space, privacy & freedom of a detached home, this one is for you. This is a well-loved home that is ready for its next chapter & will require updating & some work, making it an ideal fit for handy buyers, renovators or anyone who would rather put their own style into a home over time. Look beyond the current condition & you'll find the things that are much harder to change: a generous footprint, a functional family-friendly layout, a double garage, private backyard & a fantastic Kanata location. The main floor has hardwood flooring, spacious living & dining areas & an open-concept kitchen with stainless steel appliances, plenty of cabinetry & bonus pantry space. The kitchen overlooks the family room, with a gas fireplace. Upstairs, a bright loft provides a large flexible space for a home office, playroom or potential for a fourth bedroom. The spacious primary bedroom features a walk-in closet & private ensuite while two additional bedrooms offer plenty of room for family, guests or another office. The finished lower level adds even more usable space with a large recreation room, separate office or den & abundant storage. Outside, mature hedges create a surprisingly private backyard with a deck & plenty of potential to create your own outdoor retreat. An attached double garage rounds out a feature list that can be difficult to find at this price point. Set in family-friendly Emerald Meadows, you're within walking distance of schools, parks, trails, shopping, recreation & transit. It may not be move-in ready, but that's exactly where the opportunity lies. For buyers with some vision, a willingness to roll up their sleeves & the desire to make a home truly their own, this is a chance to get the space & privacy of a detached home without stretching to the price point of a fully updated one.
