Loved by just one family since it was built, this massive back-split home has incredible space and potential. Re-inventing the interior of this solid home is going to be an excellent opportunity for the next owners. There are oversized principal rooms, a grand, central hall with cathedral ceiling and four floors of living space just waiting to be updated and enjoyed.
Even though the house has an open and airy feel, there are many private areas and plenty of space for a large family to spread out and relax. In this layout, bedrooms are on their own level, removed from the other living spaces. A few steps down from the main hall, a vast family room spans the back of the house and features a dramatic curved brick fireplace along with a walkout to the backyard. There’s an additional room on this level that would make an excellent home office or extra bedroom. Two additional lower levels are currently unfinished but have high ceilings and impressive steel I-beams that create wide uninterrupted spans allowing for flexibility to design and configure the rest of the home to suit any needs.
Outside there is a sweeping south-facing deck overlooking the mature backyard and Cloverdale Park, which sides onto the property. If you need space for cars and sports gear, the oversized garage fits two cars easily with plenty of workshop space left over. The long driveway can park at least six vehicles.
While this home needs updating, the generous spaces and dramatic entry create a fantastic setting to host extended events and gatherings. The next family is going to love how this unique home is tucked away on a quiet street close to great schools, easy access to transit, an array of shopping options, and quick highway and airport access.
