WOW ! Locals love this pocket of Hillhurst for its walkability to top-rated schools and its charming, tree-lined streets. Tucked away from main thoroughfares and set on an extra-deep 135’ west-facing backyard, this home offers a quiet residential feel that’s increasingly rare in the inner city. Savvy buyers will immediately recognize the value of purchasing a truly turn-key, like-new home where all of the thoughtful upgrades have already been completed. Tasteful custom window coverings, upgraded lighting, central air conditioning, phantom screen door, Kinetico water softener, feature-painted walls, mounted TVs, added shelving and hooks throughout, custom wood stair runners, built-in ceiling speakers, and a statement custom front door — it’s all done. The property is expertly landscaped both front and back, including a beautiful custom stone patio that creates a perfect outdoor entertaining space. The fully finished garage is EV-ready and drywalled and painted for a clean, polished look. The interior selections are clean and timeless, yet still full of personality. Ceiling heights throughout the home elevate the overall feel — soaring 10- and 12-foot ceilings on the main floor, 10-foot ceilings upstairs, and 9-foot ceilings in the fully finished lower level create a bright, airy atmosphere rarely found in infill properties. The main floor layout is ideal for both daily living and entertaining. A stunning 16-foot island anchors the kitchen — a true statement piece and natural gathering space for friends and family. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with full-height crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops throughout, abundant storage, and expansive prep space. Premium appliances include a 5-burner gas cooktop, wall oven, convection microwave, dishwasher, and a 48-inch side-by-side built-in refrigerator, creating a seamless, high-end aesthetic. Whether hosting a dinner party or enjoying casual mornings at the island, this space delivers exceptional style and functionality. The front dining area overlooks the charming tree-lined street, while the rear living room — featuring a fireplace with included Samsung Frame TV — opens through sliding doors to the sunny west-facing deck and professionally designed backyard, perfect for summer evenings and entertaining. The mudroom is thoughtfully designed with built-in lockers and bench seating, and even the front entry impresses with a spacious walk-in closet. Upstairs, the primary retreat enjoys west exposure and a private balcony overlooking the lush neighbourhood streetscape — perfect for catching the evening sun. The spa-inspired ensuite features a freestanding tub, custom glass shower, double vanity, heated floors, and a private water closet. The upper laundry room includes side-by-side Electrolux machines, sink, and hanging space. The fully finished lower level is where the fun happens. Featuring radiant in-floor heating, a spacious open recreation area, and a massive entertainer’s bar complete with beverage centre !
