The home has undergone recent updates incl. new furnace and central air (2016) and boasts a Jøtul wood-burning stove for additional coziness. The eat-in kitchen features an island with seating accommodation, Miele dishwasher (still under warranty), Northstar retro replica appliances from Elmira Stoveworks, Blanco granite double sink, Moen faucets, original wide-plank flooring throughout and even some original cabinetry! Main floor front-loading laundry and a mudroom accessible from front and back yards is a great convenience for families of children and pets. Enjoy the privacy of a fully fenced yard under the shade of a large pine or relax on a front porch scented by apple boughs. Why not live where the distant past meets the future in the Toronto-Waterloo Corridor? Home to Canadas Silicon Valley, you can walk or bike to Google, Vidyard, D2L, Shopify, and unicorn companies like Faire and Arctic Wolf!
