Is the the finest listing on the nicest street in all of Waterloo Region? Maybe.* Welcome to 279 Ferndale Place, don't let the modest classic mid century modern frontage fool you, once inside this home opens up to many wonderful spaces and large windows throughout. A walk out bungalow, designed to sit behind adjacent homes, giving panoramic views from almost all principal rooms of the mature forest/nature. Many trees over 100 years old are on the property and street.
A major addtion allowed this home to be reimagined meshing mid century feel with modern finishes. The kitchen/living area is open but not a bland box. This space flows from the bright, large, functional kitchen into a wonderful entertaing gathering place with awe inspiring views. This is a special place for family and entertaining.
The master bedroom is a private setting with an ensuite that is top of class, tranquil, a spa like experience. A walk out to a separate balcony, for a morning coffee or a quiet evening, completes this space.
The basement really isn't a basement with walk out and floor to ceiling windows in a couple of the rooms. An entertainment area for movie nights as well as a warm family room to gather around. The main bedroom on this level has huge windows with great forest views. This might be the nicest room in the home, a special place.
This home could easily be converted to have second/bright kitchen downstairs for second suite or be converted to duplex.
Close to the expressway, universities, shopping and transit, the location is exceptional and the 60 acre park a rarity in a central location.
Come have a look, there is nothing quite like this home in this region. A special place great for dog walkers, nature lovers and is a birding paradise.
