Renovated character bungalow in a prime position in Upper Mount Royal. Surrounded by mansions and historic homes, yet easy walking distance to 17th Avenue. Perfect for urbanites, downsizers and those that aren’t quite ready for condo living. Sun-drenched lot offers unbeatable light quality and some "corridor" views of downtown. The original home was enlarged and upgraded with the assistance of design star Paul Lavoie. It now offers nearly 1900 square feet on the main. All rooms are generous with huge windows and a clean mid-century-modern California style. A striking wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space which has access out to a private terrace and yard. Chef’s kitchen features loads of workspace, island, double ovens and french doors to a sunny front terrace…great for morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Outstanding master suite with luxuriously-sized bedroom, expansive walk-in closet, a sunny ensuite bath (glass walk-in shower, soaking tub and a double vanity) and access out to the fenced front terrace. A cozy media lounge (or office), a large second bedroom and 2nd full bath complete the main floor. The lower level holds an additional 966 square feet with a DOUBLE ATTACHED GARAGE. A large recreation/media room can double as additional guest space and the bath has RI plumbing for a shower. Storage is exceptional. Lower laundry can easily be moved to the main level. Additional storage room off the garage to keep your bikes, golf clubs and yard tools organized. The professionally landscaped lot features a mix of vintage and new trees, aggregate walks, an irrigation system, perennial beds, pathways, stone steps, and an architectural cedar fence. New retaining wall on the north side. It’s rare to find an "executive-sized" bungalow in Mount Royal.
