The design
Semi-detached homes are single-family houses designed with a single shared wall with the home next to it. These homes are popular for the added privacy of having separate entrances, land and only a single common wall, compared to townhomes which can have multiple shared walls.
This particular home is unique in that the shared wall only runs along the garage and the bonus room above it. As a result, the home boasts more windows and natural lighting than traditional semi-detached houses and has nine feet of space between the houses on the attached side.
What to love
This home is a warm and welcoming space with a flood of natural light and ample windows. The large entry leads to a spacious, open-concept main floor connecting the kitchen, dining area and living room. The galley-style kitchen has top-of-the-line appliances, a raised eating bar and ample storage options.
Just off the kitchen, the large dining area has plenty of room to fit a large gathering and includes a built-in buffet with even more storage and backyard views. The living room presents the first of the gas fireplaces in the home, alongside a wall of windows that would typically be a solid wall in a traditional semi-attached home.
Beside the dining room, an all-seasons room with a second fireplace leads to a massive private backyard. The yard has a fire pit for summer s’mores and a garden shed for housing all your gardening tools.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom is an oasis with a five-piece ensuite, a third fireplace and an open layout. The 400-square-foot bonus room can also double as another bedroom, home office, recreation space and more. The basement completes the home with an ample family room, a fourth fireplace, a dry bar, a workout or play space, a bathroom and a bedroom.
What to consider
The home is conveniently located across from a local playground, community gardens and the local Winston Heights Community Centre. With easy access to downtown, shopping, schools and other amenities, it’s an ideal family home.
