225 Airdrie Rd

Nestled on a quiet tree-lined street in the heart of highly-desirable South Leaside, this pristine bungalow is bestowed by understated elegance, and blends beautifully-preserved historic accents with contemporary updates. Vintage door hardware, honeycomb tile, and cast-iron rads impart a graceful warmth. Afternoon sun permeates the leaded glass windows of the principal rooms to dance on the traditional strip hardwood, and fill the main level with natural light. The lower level features a separate side entrance, a second 4pc bathroom, excellent ceiling height, potlights throughout, and a versatile floorplan with ample spaces for movie nights, crafts and hobbies, storage, and sleep-over guests. The leafy and fully-fenced backyard is a tranquil environ for social gatherings, Zen moments, and perhaps growing a tomato or two. If Fluffy has a taste for the outdoors, there's even an enclosed "catio". A true highlight is the detached garage, offering laneway access for the ultimate in convenience, and space for an SUV, workbench, plus toys big and small (consult with city to confirm laneway suite potential). Known for extensive neighbourhood amenities, community feel, A+ schools, sports & recreation, and connectedness to the rest of the city, this prime Leaside location is ideal for those seeking a tranquil haven mixed with all the urban conveniences. Trace Manes Park, library, community centre, and the Leaside Tennis Club are a mere block away. Its a quick 4-min walk to the 88 Leaside bus to whisk downtown, a 7-min stroll to Laird shopping, and less than a km to Bayview Ave's boutiques and fine dining. An extraordinary opportunity in a premium location.
