THE GRANDE DAME OF DUFFERIN - Built in the late Victorian era, this grand residence retains the beautiful architectural details & grandeur of the period, inside & out. Inside, the gracious home greets you with a grand foyer & spacious principal rooms, & a warmth that most new homes seem to lack. Original features include hardwood floors, fireplace mantels, butler's pantry, broad bay windows, and perhaps most striking of all, the magnificent stairway illuminated by a breathtaking stained-glass window. However, this house isn't all about the past, it's fully prepped for modern living, right down to the EV charging station off the paved driveway. The renovated kitchen is a delight & connects you via walk-out to a glorious outdoor oasis that is the sun-drenched garden patio at the back of the house...making it easy to snip a few herbs for dinner or move your gatherings outside. There are 5 large bedrooms including the former maid's quarters now serving as a private guest space with its own stairway to the kitchen, full ensuite & small balcony that looks out over quiet tree-lined McDonald St. But we're not done yet, the completely finished attic blends original architecture with a more contemporary feel. Great for movie night, hobbies and just plain old getting away from it all. The sprawling attic space is also ideal for extended-stay visitors, featuring a large bedroom, its own 3-pc bath, plus kitchenette. Outside areas are just as delightful from the house-wide open veranda at the front to the colourful garden patio at the back. The lower back yard is perfect for the kids' playset, and is fully fenced to keep the pooch in, & the deer out...making it a rare haven for your spring tulips or summer vegetable patch! There's even a handy garage/workshop. Set on a large corner lot, it's a short stroll to Bluenose Academy & rec facilities, or downtown shops, services & waterfront. Bring one, bring all, this home offers something for everyone, and space for the whole family!
