Set on just over one-third of an acre in the heart of Scenic Acres, this distinctive family home offers a combination of space, privacy, and outdoor living increasingly difficult to find within the city. Built in 1988, the home has remained within the same family for three generations, evolving beautifully alongside the people who have called it home. Mature landscaping surrounds a backyard that cascades naturally down the hillside, creating remarkable privacy and a collection of outdoor spaces woven into the landscape. A wraparound deck extends the living space outdoors, with dedicated areas for the hot tub, BBQ, fire pit, and garden beds creating places to entertain, watch the kids explore, or simply settle in and enjoy the surroundings. At the front, an aggregate stone driveway and concrete tile roof speak to the craftsmanship found here. Step through the refurbished original front door into a foyer where warmth and character meet incredible natural light, with nearly 40 windows illuminating the home throughout the day. Just off the entry is the great room, where French doors thoughtfully added by the homeowners open into a sunken family room anchored by the fireplace and framed by views through to the backyard. Over the years, this has become the natural heart of the home—a place for morning coffee, evenings together, and watching the kids simply be kids. The kitchen opens directly from the family room and features granite surfaces, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, solid oak millwork, and a horseshoe-shaped island designed for preparing family meals and gathering together. An easy connection to the formal dining room lends itself to entertaining, while the adjoining front living room provides another generous space for family and friends to gather. A room originally intended as a main-floor bedroom has been converted into a bright home office, preserving the option to easily return it to a bedroom as life changes. Upstairs, a versatile flex area offers s pace for a library, homework station, playroom, study area, or second office. The primary suite is generously proportioned and filled with natural light, creating a peaceful retreat with an ensuite featuring dual vanities, a BainUltra tub, glass shower, and views over the backyard. Additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family or guests, while upper-level laundry keeps the practical side of everyday family life organized. The unfinished lower level offers substantial additional space to make entirely your own, whether envisioned as bedrooms, a home theatre, fitness studio, recreation room, or a combination. With mature streets, parks and pathways, nearby schools, and easy access west toward the mountains, it is the kind of neighborhood where families come to put down roots and stay. For three generations, this home has been the backdrop to one family's everyday moments, milestones, and memories. Now, for the first time, it offers another family the chance to do the same.
