Welcome to 95 Optimist Drive, where you can enjoy the space and quiet of small-town living while keeping everything the city has to offer just a short drive away. Located in the welcoming community of Talbotville, this beautiful Don West-built bungalow offers more than just a place to live. It's a neighbourhood where families gather at the park, kids play soccer down the street, and summer Friday evenings bring neighbours together for family game nights.Built in 2022, this 2+2 bedroom, 3 bathroom home has been thoughtfully finished from top to bottom. The bright, open-concept main floor features a spacious kitchen with a large island, plenty of cabinetry and beautiful countertops, flowing into the dining and living areas with a cozy gas fireplace. The primary bedroom offers its own ensuite, while a second bedroom and convenient main-floor laundry make everyday living easy.The fully finished basement adds incredible versatility with two additional bedrooms, a bathroom and a generous family room, perfect for movie nights, entertaining or giving everyone their own space.Outside, the fully fenced backyard is a standout feature. Situated on an impressive 148-foot-deep lot, the backyard has many mature trees at the rear, creating a wonderfully private setting. There's plenty of room for summer barbecues, kids and pets to play, or simply relaxing on the patio and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.And perhaps the best part? Everything is already done. From the finished basement to the landscaped, fenced backyard, there's no construction to finish and no long list of projects waiting for you. Just move in, unpack and start enjoying your new home. All of this just minutes from London, St. Thomas and Highway 401. Close enough to the city for convenience, but far enough away to enjoy a quieter pace of life.
