This is prime Westdale, right in the walkable triangle between the neighbourhood’s top schools and just a short stroll to McMaster University. If you work at the university; faculty, medical, research, staff, or you’re being transferred in, this is the kind of house you hope exists and usually doesn’t. Everything is done. The heavy lifting is over so you can move in and enjoy stress free. No renovations. No weekends lost. For young families, this is exactly why people fight to get into Westdale. You’re surrounded by families, kids on bikes, and tree-lined streets. You’re walking distance to Westdale Secondary, Cootes Paradise Elementary, Dalewood, and the core of the neighbourhood. It’s a true community and a healthy way to grow. The home has been comprehensively updated where it matters most: kitchens, baths, systems, exterior, and layout (2018). The main floor interior was taken back to the studs and rebuilt properly. It’s comfortable and finished in a way that works well day to day. The main floor windows, doors, shingles, soffit, eaves, facia, exterior paint, porch, Ipe decking, pergola w/ electrical, lighting, low maintenance gardens, and garage rebuild with new pad, insulation, power, ventilation and shed, all in 2018. Exposed Aggregate and ext waterproofing and weeping tiles in 2015. Furnace in 2020. Backflow valve in 2025. Inside, the home feels right. Bright and warm with character where you want it and modern updates where you need them. The kind of place that immediately feels livable, not like a project in disguise. Homes like this, fully finished, properly updated, in this location, almost never come in under a million dollars. Yet here it is. If you want Westdale walkability, McMaster proximity, strong schools, and a home that’s already done, this one deserves a very close look. (id:4069)
