A California-inspired home in the heart of the Beaches. Perched above a quiet dead-end street at the east end, this detached two-plus-one-bedroom, two-bathroom residence lives more like a two storey home than a bungalow, offering a sense of space, light, and flow throughout. With its stucco exterior and elevated position, it carries a timeless charm, surrounded by trees, birdsong, and peaceful, leafy views.Set on a wide 38-foot lot, it feels tucked away and tranquil, yet just moments from the boardwalk, the lake, and all the best of the east end. Mornings on the porch and evenings watching the moon rise through the trees bring a calm, cottage-like rhythm to everyday life.The home has been thoughtfully updated with engineered hardwood throughout, new drywall, new appliances, and pot lights in the living, dining, kitchen, and family rooms, creating a clean and modern feel while maintaining its character.Located within the highly coveted Malvern and Balmy school district, this is also one of those special streets where neighbours host barbecues, the pace stays peaceful, and everything is within walking distance, from coffee to a movie to ice cream or a lakeside stroll during a winter storm. Rarely does a home feel this private yet so connected. **There is ample city-issued street permit parking available on both sides of the street ** (id:29237)
