About this home
Set on a quiet street in Peterborough's sought after west end, this spacious 4 bedroom home offers a wonderful blend of space, character, and location. Just steps from popular Roper Park with its playground, tennis courts, green space, and winter skating rink, there's so much to love about this family friendly neighbourhood where kids still ride bikes to the park and neighbours know each other by name. Hardwood floors and a graceful curved staircase welcome you inside, while the bright living and dining spaces overlook the private backyard framed by mature trees and perennial gardens. Enjoy a spacious eat-in kitchen with peaceful backyard views, while the cozy family room with fireplace and walkout to the patio creates the perfect backdrop for relaxed evenings, summer dinners outdoors, or quiet mornings listening to the birds with a coffee in hand. A convenient laundry/mudroom connects directly to the double garage for everyday ease. Up the beautiful staircase, you'll find the rare convenience of 4 bedrooms on one level, including a generous primary suite with walk-in closet and updated ensuite with glass shower. Three additional bedrooms, an updated large 4 pc family bathroom, and a spacious upper landing complete the second floor. The lower level offers outstanding flexibility with a large rec room, additional bedroom, 3 pc bathroom, cold cellar, and storage space, making it ideal for guests, teens, a home office, or in-law potential. Close to Jackson Park trails and cycling paths, and within walking distance to excellent schools including Westmount and St. Catherine, this is a location families rarely outgrow. Lovingly maintained and ready for its next chapter, this is a fantastic opportunity to settle into one of Peterborough's most desirable neighbourhoods while adding your own vision over time. Ready for another family to make beautiful memories here for years to come.
