OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 FROM 2-4 PM
There is something immediately inviting about this charming 1½-storey home in the heart of Queensway Terrace North. Set on a mature, tree-lined street, beautifully maintained and thoughtfully improved over the years, it offers that increasingly hard-to-find combination of character, space and a wonderful city backyard — all in a neighbourhood where parks, schools, walking trails, transit, shopping, services and the hospital are close at hand.
Substantial renovations in 1998 transformed the original home, beginning with the handsome gabled front entrance and covered porch that give it such great curb appeal. An interlock driveway adds to the polished first impression.
Inside, immaculate hardwood floors flow throughout the main and second levels. The layout is wonderfully flexible: two bedrooms upstairs plus a main-floor bedroom that can become whatever life requires — bedroom, home office, den, library or playroom. Thoughtful built-ins and additional closet space make this an older home that actually understands the need for storage.
The updated kitchen is bright and beautifully functional with quartz counters and a lovely window framing the backyard — perfect for keeping an eye on children at play while dinner is underway. But perhaps the home's most delightful surprise is the four-season sunroom. Wrapped in windows and filled with natural light, it brings the outdoors in and opens directly to a covered back porch, creating an easy connection between house and garden.
And what a backyard. Large and private, there is room here for family barbecues, gardens, a future play structure, football games, dogs running at full speed and all the general nonsense that makes a backyard memorable.
Downstairs, the finished basement adds another comfortable layer of living space, with new carpeting, a three-piece bathroom and clever nooks that lend themselves beautifully to office or study space. Cold storage plus a generous unfinished storage area ensure there is a place for everything.
Move-in ready and clearly loved by proud owners, 2544 Severn Avenue isn't trying to be something it isn't. It is simply a really good house — warm, immaculate, full of personality and thoughtfully adapted for the way people live today.
Add the mature surroundings and exceptional convenience of Queensway Terrace North, and this is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the space and charm of an established neighbourhood without giving up the advantages of city living.
