Three plus one bedrooms and an office. Two kitchens. Two full bathrooms. Laundry on both levels. Two decks. And a Martindale location that is hard to beat. Welcome to 39 West Farmington Drive, a flexible raised bungalow on a 50 by 164 foot lot close to parks, schools, the hospital, shopping, restaurants, public transit and major routes. Offering approximately 1,400 square feet above grade, the home has a versatile layout and exceptional storage. A double wide driveway and covered double door entrance lead into a bright foyer, with inside entry from the attached single garage. The spacious eat in kitchen features painted cabinetry, a herringbone backsplash, under cabinet lighting, pot lights, a walk in pantry and a four foot Ultraline professional style refrigerator. A generous dining area offers room for everyday meals and larger gatherings. The main floor also has three bedrooms, a bright living room, four piece bathroom and laundry closet. Hardwood and tile run through the living room, bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and hallways areas. The home is carpet free. The finished lower level deserves a second look. A separate entrance leads to a full second kitchen, spacious family room with a gas fireplace, fourth bedroom, second full bathroom, office and separate laundry and utility room. This adaptable space can accommodate extended household living, guests, work or hobbies. A large cold cellar and generous closets add valuable storage. Patio doors open to a covered deck with a natural gas barbecue connection and a second deck below, creating nearly 450 square feet of outdoor living space. The backyard backs onto a treed, elevated slope with no rear neighbours. Two garden sheds provide additional storage, while a roof approximately three years old adds peace of mind. With its sought after location, generous space, adaptable layout and private backyard, 39 West Farmington Drive offers a combination that is difficult to find.
