Extraordinary home at a fabulous price! This stately home has all the room your family needs and the separate office space & private ravine gardens you crave. Enjoy the quiet prestige of its superb quality & architectural character. Perfect for a McMaster professional who needs to be steps to work. Set on an extraordinary extra-deep, private ravine lot, this lovely Tudor-style residence is a rare offering in the heart of Westdale. Surrounded by mature trees and lush, park-like grounds, the home enjoys a remarkable sense of privacy while remaining just steps from McMaster University & Hospital and close to the Royal Botanical Garden forests & nature trails. Rich architectural character is evident throughout, with sumptuous gumwood wood paneling, gleaming hardwood floors and beautifully proportioned principal rooms.

At the heart of the home, the open-concept kitchen flows effortlessly into a bright and inviting main-floor family room addition with cozy fireplace & expansive windows overlooking the ravine garden. A private main-floor office with corner windows also overlooks the grounds. The upper level offers 4 generously sized bedrooms, while the finished attic provides a fifth bedroom suite with full bath. Crowning the family room addition is a wonderful private roof deck overlooking the rear ravine - an idyllic retreat for morning coffee, evening drinks or simply enjoying the view. Westdale is truly a nature lover's dream. It boasts top-rated schools, beautiful parks (check out the new kids' jungle gym and splash pad), miles and miles of RBG forests and behind Churchill Park are extensive waterfront walking/biking trails leading all the way to Bayfront & Pier 4 Parks.
