If you're looking for more than just a cookie-cutter suburban home, this place on Cologne Street has some serious personality. The stone and vinyl exterior with a double front door and attached garage gives it solid curb appeal, but it's the inside that really stands out. You get 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a partially finished basement with a unique climbing wall that's perfect for keeping kids (or yourself) active. The main floor has a stone gas fireplace in the living room, a dedicated office, and a modern kitchen with a walk-in pantry and sit-at island. Upstairs, the primary suite has a renovated ensuite with a walk-in shower, and there's a mezzanine overlooking the living room below. The backyard is fully fenced and has a playset, raised garden beds, an above-ground pool, and a deck. Located in Russell Village, you're about 3 km from Tim Hortons and Lucky 7 Sports Bar, 5.5 km from Calypso Waterpark, and 7.6 km from Russell Arena. Schools are a bit of a drive, with Cambridge Public at 4.1 km and Russell High at 7.7 km. Priced at $750,000, it's above the nearby median of $655,500, but with that pool and climbing wall, it's got more character than most. The lot is 15 x 33.5 M, giving you room to spread out. This is a home someone's clearly taken care of and had fun with.
