This is the kind of home buyers remember. Welcome to 279 Stiver Street, a distinctive 4-bedroom 3-bedroom bungalow set on one of the larger lots in this established Russell neighbourhood. With no rear neighbours, the backyard backs directly onto a park, with a private gate providing convenient access to the greenspace. Designed for enjoyment with minimal upkeep, the backyard features extensive interlock, artificial turf, a large covered gazebo, a hot tub, an outdoor movie setup, and even a built-in pet door. Inside, the open-concept main level offers a spacious kitchen with quartz countertops, a large island, dark cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a gas range, all overlooking the inviting living area with a fireplace. The main level also includes a generous primary bedroom with double closets. The fully finished lower level feels like a true extension of the home, featuring three additional bedrooms, large windows, nearly 9-foot ceilings, a full bathroom, laundry area, and flexible family or recreation space. With 2.5 bathrooms, a jetted tub, thoughtful storage, distinctive finishes, a finished double garage, and a 40-amp EV charger, this home delivers privacy, character, functionality, and an outdoor lifestyle that is anything but ordinary.
